"All the so-called weaknesses in women about which men either complain or make fun, are not there for me. For they have their excuses and are charming...I am a very great lover of all women. Like a lover, I am blind to their faults....I prefer to talk with females. I do. I find it quite as stimulating and distinctly more comfortable....I think also that females have become too important just to play with. When men say the female cannot discuss impersonally, that is no longer so. When it is said that females cannot be geniuses, that is no longer so, either. The female is different from the male. Because she was born to be a mother. There is no doubt about that. But that does not mean that, in some cases, she is not also born a genius. Not all males are geniuses either. And among females today there are some very fine actresses, very fine; fine doctors, lawyers, even scientists and industrialists.
I see no fault in any female when she wears slacks, smokes (unless it is on the street, one thing, the only thing, which I don't like), when she drives a car. When men say things like 'I bet it is a woman driving' if something is wrong with the car ahead – no, no. These are old, worn out prejudices, they do not belong in today."--Conrad Veidt in Silver Screen magazine, 1941
