Lillian B Rubin Quotes

Intimacy. We hunger for it, but we also fear it Picture Quote #1

The structure of the family is not born in nature but in human design. What we can do, we can also undo Picture Quote #1

For those who have lived on the edge of poverty all their lives, the semblance of poverty affected by the affluent is both incomprehensible and insulting Picture Quote #1

No revolution creates a wholly new universe. Rather, it reflects the history and culture that spawned it Picture Quote #1

From our earliest beginnings, we have been a nation obsessed with sex, titillated by it at the same time that we fear it, elaborating rules to contain it at the same time that we violate them Picture Quote #1

Whatever else we may say about sex, it is at least as much a social and psychological phenomenon as it is a biological one Picture Quote #1

Society and personality live in a continuing reciprocal relation with each other. The search for personal change without efforts to change the institutions within which we live and grow will, therefore, be met with only limited reward Picture Quote #1

The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see aroundthem so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future--fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail Picture Quote #1

How then can we account for the persistence of the myth that inside the empty nest lives a shattered and depressed shell of a woman--a woman in constant pain because her children no longer live under her roof? Is it possible that a notion so pervasive is, in fact, just a myth? Picture Quote #1

Sexual freedom is about choice. It’s the freedom to say no as well as yes Picture Quote #1

The ideal visions of one age eventually are seen as its excesses by the next Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we choose a friend who mirrors our fantasies, dreams of a self we wish we could be Picture Quote #1
