Riane Eisler Quotes

At the core of every child is an intact human Picture Quote #1

Religion supports and perpetuates the social organization it reflects Picture Quote #1

Obviously there is pain in childbirth. But giving birth is also a moment of awe and wonder, a moment when the true miracle of aliveness, and of a woman’s amazing part in that miracle, is suddenly experienced in every cell of one’s body. It is in that sense truly an altered state of consciousness Picture Quote #1

There are only two basic ways of structuring the relations between the female and male halves of humanity. All societies are patterned on either a dominator model - in which human hierarchies are ultimately backed up by force or the threat of force - or a partnership model, with variations in between Picture Quote #1

...that both Muslim fundamentalists and the Christian right are today focusing their attempts to regain control in a rapidly changing world on frantic efforts to maintain control over women, particularly over women’s sexuality. Moreover, given their mythologies about holy wars, it is also understandable that they should use divinely approved violence to do so Picture Quote #1

To heal ourselves we also have to heal society Picture Quote #1

... gender relationships, which are tough for people to deal with, are key to whether a society orients to domination or partnership in all its relations Picture Quote #1

For most of recorded history, parental violence against children and men’s violence against wives was explicitly or implicitly condoned. Those who had the power to prevent and/or punish this violence through religion, law, or custom, openly or tacitly approved it..... The reason violence against women and children is finally out in the open is that activists have brought it to global attention Picture Quote #1

For new ideas to be translated into new realities requires not only clarity of vision but also the opportunity to change old realities Picture Quote #1

When the status and power of women is greater so also is the nation’s general quality of life; when they are lower, so is the quality of life for all Picture Quote #1

So many of the models of courage we’ve had, ones that are still taught to boys and girls, are about going out to slay the dragon, to kill. It’s a courage that’s born out of fear, anger, and hate. But there’s this other kind of courage. It’s the courage to risk your life, not in war, not in battle, not out of fear... but out of love and a sense of injustice that has to be challenged. It takes far more courage to challenge unjust authority without violence than it takes to kill all the monsters in all the stories told to children about the meaning of bravery Picture Quote #1

The link between intimate violence in the home and the international violence of terrorism and war is as tightly bound together as the fingers of a clenched fist Picture Quote #1

In sum, the struggle for our future is... the struggle between those who cling to patterns of domination and those working for a more equitable partnership world Picture Quote #1

To change our realities, we also have to change our myths. As history amply demonstrates, myths and realities go hand in hand Picture Quote #1

Can we really expect adequate funding for programs to clean up our environment and care for people’s basic needs as long as the socially essential work of caretaking and cleaning is relegated to women for little or no pay? Picture Quote #1
