When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, and I like to take up space just because I can, and I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think Picture Quote #1

But what if no one's watching? What if when we're dead, we are just dead? What if there's no time to lose? What if there's things we gotta do, Things that need to be said? Picture Quote #1

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl Picture Quote #1

An angler is a man who spends rainy days sitting around on the muddy banks of rivers doing nothing because his wife won't let him do it at home Picture Quote #1

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope Picture Quote #1

Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don't mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes, which is nepotism, the old-boy network Picture Quote #1

I don't think a female running a house is a problem, a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man Picture Quote #1

There is really nothing more to say-except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how Picture Quote #1

It was a fine cry, loud and long, but it had no bottom and it had no top, just circles and circles of sorrow Picture Quote #1

And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity Picture Quote #1

At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right Picture Quote #1

Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. When it isn't, don't call it destiny; call it injustice, treachery, or simple bad luck Picture Quote #1

Frankly, I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry Picture Quote #1

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family Picture Quote #1

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government Picture Quote #1

Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy; indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile Picture Quote #1

There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you Picture Quote #1

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job Picture Quote #1

By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration Picture Quote #1

Before feminism, work was largely defined as what men did or would do. Thus, a working woman was someone who labored outside the home for money, masculine-style Picture Quote #1

Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us Picture Quote #1

Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood Picture Quote #1

Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it Picture Quote #1

Battered women is a phrase that uncovered major, long-hidden violence. It helps us to face the fact that, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, not in the streets Picture Quote #1

As wise women and men in every culture tell us: The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us Picture Quote #1
