Who Quotes

When I say that we must establish values with originate in sisterhood, I mean to say that we must not accept, even for a moment, male notions of what non-violence is. These notions have never condemned the systematic violence against us. The men who hold these notions have never renounced the male behaviors, privileges, values and conceits which are in and of themselves acts of violence against us Picture Quote #1

How can anyone love someone who is less than a full person, unless love itself is domination per se? Picture Quote #1

Being female in this world means having been robbed of the potential for human choice by men who love to hate us. One does does not make choices in freedom. Instead, one conforms in body type and behavior and values to become an object of male sexual desire, which requires an abandonment of a wide-ranging capacity for choice... Men too make choices. When will they choose not to despise us? Picture Quote #1

What you see is what you see, but that is never everything. Sarajavo is Sarajevo whatever you see or don't see. America is America. The past and future exist without you. And what you don't know about me is still my life. What I don't know about you is still your life. Nothing at all depends on you seeing it or not seeing it. I mean, who are you? You don't have to see or know everything Picture Quote #1

So you are Catholic? Didn't know that. I am nothing, I said. God knows God is no friend of mine. But I envy people who believe in this crap. They don't worry about the meaning of life and things, whereas I do Picture Quote #1

The cafeteria in the Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital basement was the saddest place in the world-and forever it shall be-with its grim neon lights and gray tabletops and the diffuse foreboding of those who stepped away from suffering children to have a grilled cheese sandwich Picture Quote #1

Isabel's indelible absence is now an organ in our bodies whose sole function is a continuous secretion of sorrow Picture Quote #1

My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way Picture Quote #1

What is life? This is no life. Who wants this life? The dead leave it to us to struggle in this world. They go elsewhere, wherever it is, and wait for God to sort it all out. But we have to stay here, no matter how hard it is. Nobody can be alone. Life is the life of others. My life, your life, that is nothing Picture Quote #1

If there are more dead than living, then the world is about death, and the question is: What are we to do with all the death? Who is going to remember all the dead? Picture Quote #1

I think it is about life. I think there is always more life than death. Those who lived are always alive for someone. Those who are alive remember life, not death. And when you are dead nothing happens. Death is nothing Picture Quote #1

Life depends on what she thinks of as ‘big bursts' and ‘little bursts. ' Big bursts are things like marriage or children, intimacies that keep you afloat, but these big bursts hold dangerous, unseen currents. Which is why you need the little bursts as well: a friendly clerk at Bradlee's, let's say, or the waitress at Dunkin' Donuts who knows how you like your coffee Picture Quote #1

I gave people who didn't know what to say the best advice I could muster, which was that it was better to say anything rather than pretend that nothing was wrong. My hunch was that Mom would simply appreciate knowing that people were thinking of her Picture Quote #1

I am the excuse to explore your identity. To be exactly who you are and to feel unafraid. To not judge yourself, to not hate yourself Picture Quote #1

What I suddenly understood was that a thank-you note isn't the price you pay for receiving a gift, as so many children think it is, a kind of minimum tribute or toll, but an opportunity to count your blessings. And gratitude isn't what you give in exchange for something; it's what you feel when you are blessed - blessed to have family and friends who care about you, and who want to see you happy. Hence the joy from thanking Picture Quote #1

We would also have to say goodbye to the joy of watching this next generation soak up the massive quantities of love their grandmother would have given them, and seeing them learn that there was someone in the world who loved them as much as their paren'ts did: a grandmother who was delighted by all their quirks and who thought they were the most amazing creatures on earth Picture Quote #1

If our family was an airline, Mom was the hub and we were the spokes. You rarely went anywhere nonstop; you went via Mom, who directed the traffic flow and determined the priorities: which family member was cleared for takeoff or landing. Even my father was not immune to Mom's scheduling, though he was given more leeway than the rest of us Picture Quote #1

Boys are capital fellows in their own way, among their mates; but they are unwholesome companions for grown people Picture Quote #1

And if the book is too silly, I find that it's often because the writer doesn't really have anything to say - or there are no values. Or because the whole book is just a lead-up to a trick at the end. If you read the end first, you may have much less patience for wasting time with that kind of book. Even a well - written book can be silly and a waste of time Picture Quote #1

Remember the Italian steward who put on women's clothes and so filched a seat in a lifeboat? A cur in human shape, certainly he was born and saved to set a new standard by which to judge infamy and shame Picture Quote #1

The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend Picture Quote #1

We all owe everyone for everything that happens in our lives. But it's not owing like a debt to one person - it's really that we owe everyone for everything. Our whole lives can change in an instant - so each person that keeps that from happening, no matter how small a role they play, is also responsible for all of it. Just by giving friendship and love, you keep the people around you from giving up - and each expression of friendship or love may be the one that makes all the difference Picture Quote #1

In this hour of all-but-universal darkness one cheering gleam appears: within the fold of conservative Christianity there are to be found increasing numbers of persons whose religious lives are marked by a growing hunger after God Himself. They are eager for spiritual realities and will not be put off with words, nor will they be content with correct

But this hunger must be recognized by our religious leaders. Current evangelicalism has (to change the figure) laid the altar and divided the sacrifice into parts, but now seems satisfied to count the stones and rearrange the pieces with never a care that there is not a sign of fire upon the top of lofty Carmel. But God be thanked that there are a few who care Picture Quote #1

I was learning that when you're with someone who is dying, you may need to celebrate the past, live the present, and mourn the future all at the same time Picture Quote #1

God's gifts now take the place of God, and the whole course of nature is upset by the monstrous substitution Picture Quote #1

A good-natured woman... which is as much as you can expect from a friend's wife, whom you got acquainted with a bachelor Picture Quote #1

Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole Church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life Picture Quote #1

Who first invented work, and bound the free and holiday-rejoicing spirit down......... To that dry drudgery at the desk's dead wood?......... Sabbathless Satan! Picture Quote #1

I think there are innumerable gods. What we on Earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events Picture Quote #1
