Us Quotes

If there is a single theme that dominates all my writings, all my obsessions, it is that of memory - because I fear forgetfulness as much as hatred and death Picture Quote #1

There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed Picture Quote #1

Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form Picture Quote #1

Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one Picture Quote #1

For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable 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

I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing Picture Quote #1

It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous Picture Quote #1

A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means 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

From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence - and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified 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

I once fell in love with a man only because we both belonged to that large and secret club of children who had crazy mothers. We traded stories of the shameless houses to which we could never invite our friends Picture Quote #1

The nineteenth-century wave of feminism was started by older women who had been through the radicalizing experience of getting married and becoming the legal chattel of their husbands (or the equally radicalizing experience of not getting married and being treated as spinsters) Picture Quote #1

Men were valued by what they did, women by how they looked and then by what their husbands did, and all of life was arranged (or so we thought) from the outside in Picture Quote #1

Women can be vivacious. We are allowed more varieties of facial expression and gestures. Men must be rocklike Picture Quote #1

The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not; the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols - all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent's needs Picture Quote #1

Paradoxically, only journeying backward in time and reentering the home we once knew allows us to go forward to the home we've always wanted Picture Quote #1

Obviously, untangling sex from aggression and violence or the threat of it is going to take a very long time. And the process is going to be greatly resisted as a challenge to the very heart of male dominance and male centrality Picture Quote #1

I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having survived I owe something to the dead. And anyone who does not remember betrays them again Picture Quote #1

I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it Picture Quote #1

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings Picture Quote #1

Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other Picture Quote #1

No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them Picture Quote #1

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest Picture Quote #1

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe Picture Quote #1

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair. I remember the killers, I remember the victims, even as I struggle to invent a thousand and one reasons to hope Picture Quote #1

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented Picture Quote #1
