Janine Di Giovanni Quotes

It can’t be bad having a mother who is fulfilled by her work Picture Quote #1

Africa is a very dangerous place Picture Quote #1

From the earliest age, I was just different. I think that’s part of every writer’s little revenge. You think, ‘I’m not a blonde, blue-eyed cheerleader but I’m going to get out of here and do something.’ Picture Quote #1

Stockholm is surely an urban planner’s dream. Everything works. Everything looks good Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure that finding a husband at university made me any less of a feminist or an academic. I still soaked up Susan Faludi; I still read Doris Lessing. But I did it at the same time I met someone who I felt was my soulmate Picture Quote #1

Hats, giant shades and 60-plus sunblock are part of my summer repertoire. I don’t want wrinkles, but it’s skin cancer I truly fear Picture Quote #1

When I did a year-long study in 2005 of European countries integrating Muslims into their cultures, France came in the lowest of the rank. Sweden was not far behind, though, which is worrying, as racism in France is much closer to the bone Picture Quote #1

I love magazines. I always read ‘Time,’ ‘Newsweek’ and ‘The Economist.’ When I get my hair cut, French ‘Vogue,’ French ‘Elle,’ ‘Paris Match’ - I read them all in 10 minutes Picture Quote #1

In Pakistan, the right to go to school is not a given. In the more rural areas, a girl is born, married off as early as 9 years old, and basically lives life under the control of men Picture Quote #1

It is a well known urban myth that the French don’t trust banks and store their money under their mattress. It’s not that they are tight with money - they just don’t trust anyone Picture Quote #1

My own mother, my sister and nearly all the women in my family had full-time jobs as mothers. They were wonderful at it. They drove their children back and forth to soccer, skating lessons, piano lessons, private schools, but I sensed, even in my own mother, a kind of distant dissatisfaction Picture Quote #1

Nonviolence worked in Serbia, and it can work in other countries seeking their freedom Picture Quote #1

Sibling rivalry was, and still is to this day, rampant in my family. We were all competing for my parents’ divided attention Picture Quote #1

Occupy Wall Street was a disorganized movement without a clear focus and power base - essential in any successful revolution - but the message was clear: the divisions between those who are fortunate enough to enjoy city living as opposed to those who find it unbearable are too wide Picture Quote #1

Paris certainly needs to promote itself. Although still the most visited city in the world, it has fallen behind London and Berlin in terms of cool Picture Quote #1

Every time the Catholic Church takes one step forward, it seems to take one giant step back Picture Quote #1

I see so many people get so wrapped up in wanting to get a bigger SUV or a bigger house. But then I think, ‘My God, I could have been born a woman in the Congo.’ Picture Quote #1

There is a painful joke that Europeans often tell of their Gallic neighbors: God created France, the most beautiful country in the world with so much good in it, and ended up feeling guilty about it. He had to do something to make it fair. And so, he created the French people Picture Quote #1

Sarajevo was this beautiful city, very cosmopolitan, multiethnic, full of wonderful people, artists and writers and poets and Serbs and Muslims and Croats, and living side by side. And then this medieval siege, and it was a medieval siege, came, and the Bosnian Serbs were on the hills lobbing in rockets and grenades and mortars Picture Quote #1

I have never been embedded with the American army or, you know, with the big war machine Picture Quote #1

I know being pregnant and giving birth is the most wonderful thing on Earth. I know that after you have a baby, there is a sense of addiction, a need to have another. It’s biological Picture Quote #1

Human memory is short and terribly fickle Picture Quote #1

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life Picture Quote #1
