| "I can't tell you how many times I've been jealous of your mother
and her purse.
You know, we men have to shove our whole lives in a little square
of leather, that we then have to sit on." Hal, "Malcolm in the
Middle", 2000, Old Mrs. Old (#2.11)

| "Women protect their privacy. You know how they are about their handbags;
you never go in there! It's always "bring me my purse." A husband could
say: "Honey, I'm being robbed! The guy's holding a gun to my head
and I don't have any money!" The wife'd say: "Honey, bring me
my purse." Martin Crane, "Frasier", 1993. |
" A woman's mind is as complex as the contents of her handbag; when you get to the bottom
of it, here is always something to surprise you."
Billy Connolly, actor/comedian        
 | " I find that it is vital to have at least one handbag for each of the ten types of social occasions: Very Formal, Not So Formal, Just A Teensy Bit Formal, Informal But Not That Informal, Every Day, Every Other Day, Day Travel, Night Travel, Theater, and Fling."
Miss Piggy (The Muppet Show)

"War makes bags bigger, boom times make them smaller."
Anna Johnson in "Handbags: The Power Of The Purse", Workman Publishing, New York, 2002.
| "The very idea of my needing a handbag is puzzling. All I have to carry is
lipstick, eyeliner, pressed powder, reading glasses, sunglasses, small perfume
spray, sunscreen, Kleenex, small brush, tic tacs, chocolate bar, small sewing
kit, liquid soap, wash-n-drys, address book, key chain (with nine keys, three of
which I have no idea what they open), and a wallet (containing charge cards,
checkbook, pictures of my children, membership cards, and cards that are
stamped for a cup of coffee at a shop I'll never visit again).
When my children were small, I also carried crayons and coloring books,
fruit snacks, and a change of underpants."
Paula Marantz Cohen, American novelist/essayist. |
