Helen Gurley Brown Quotes

«When I wrote 'Sex and the Single Girl,' which was the precursor to Cosmopolitan, if you didn't have a husband, you might as well go to the Grand Canyon and throw yourself in. And if you were having sex with a man you were not married to? Well, your reputation was just shot.»
«What Cosmo did was report on what was true out in the real world, but was never reported before. Some of the principles were based on 'Sex and the Single Girl,' which said that if you're single and 33, you don't have to go to the Grand Canyon and throw yourself in.»
«Never fail to know that if you are doing all the talking, you are boring somebody.»

«I was mousy on the outside but inside I'm this tiger and I have to get on with it,»
«I would say that Cosmo was always a feminist magazine; it was before the movement really took shape. The early feminist movement felt I put a lot of emphasis on beauty, which was true.»

«I've got to admit, it's one of the most fun parts of my job, ... We laugh our butts off when we do them. They are over-the-top, but the reader knows they're hyperbolic.»
