Wo Quotes

I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement Picture Quote #1

If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess cause you've left me with nothing, but I have worked with less Picture Quote #1

My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do Picture Quote #1

If a man can’t put his arms around his sons and help them, then what’s the world coming to? Picture Quote #1

My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it 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

At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough 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

She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind Picture Quote #1

Women's rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about us; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us Picture Quote #1

Everything I've ever done, in the writing world, has been to expand articulation, rather than to close it Picture Quote #1

I merged those two words, black and feminist, because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes Picture Quote #1

I would solve a lot of literary problems just thinking about a character in the subway, where you can't do anything anyway Picture Quote #1

I'm not entangled in shaping my work according to other people's views of how I should have done it Picture Quote #1

Nelson Mandela is, for me, the single statesman in the world. The single statesman, in that literal sense, who is not solving all his problems with guns. It's truly unbelievable Picture Quote #1

I know what every colored woman in this country is doing.... Dying. Just like me. But the difference is they dying like a stump. Me, I'm going down like one of those redwoods. I sure did live in this world Picture Quote #1

Tell us what it is to be a woman so that we may know what it is to be a man. What moves at the margin. What it is to have no home in this place. To be set adrift from the one you knew. What it is to live at the edge of towns that cannot bear your company Picture Quote #1

When a thing is said to be not worth refuting you may be sure that either it is flagrantly stupid - in which case all comment is superfluous - or it is something formidable, the very crux of the problem Picture Quote #1

If consciousness is, as some inhuman thinker has said, nothing more than a flash of light between two eternities of darkness, then there is nothing more execrable than existence Picture Quote #1

And love, above all when it struggles against destiny, overwhelms us with the feeling of the vanity of this world of appearances and gives us a glimpse of another world, in which destiny is overcome and liberty is law Picture Quote #1

The wretched consciousness shrinks from it own annihilation, and just as an animal spirit newly severed from the womb of the world, finds itself confronted with the world and knows itself distinct from it, so consciousness must needs desire to possess another life than that of the world itself Picture Quote #1

I am the center of my universe, the center of the universe, and in my supreme anguish I cry with Michelet, Mon moi, ils m'arrachent mon moi! What is a man profited if he shall gain the world and lose his own soul? Picture Quote #1

Just as eunuchs will never know aesthetics as applied to the selection of beautiful women, so neither will pure rationalists ever know ethics, nor will they ever succeed in defining happiness, for happiness is a thing that is lived and felt, not a thing that is reasoned or defined Picture Quote #1

And if it is grievous to be doomed one day to cease to be, perhaps it would be more grievous still to go on being always oneself, and no more than oneself, without being able to be at the same time other, without being able to be at the same time everything else, without being able to be all Picture Quote #1

And above all, we must feel and act as if an endless continuation of our Earthly life awaited us after death; and if it be that nothingness is the fate that awaits us we must not, in the words of Obermann, so act that it shall be a just fate Picture Quote #1

Let us go on committing suicide by working among our people, and let them dream life just as the lake dreams the sky Picture Quote #1

Is there anything more terrible than a call? It affords an occasion for the exchange of the most threadbare commonplaces. Calls and the theatre are the two great centers for the propagation of platitudes 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
