Wo Quotes

As women, we have more of a tendency to be people-pleasers, and I know a lot of women who are not vocal about what makes them happy Picture Quote #1

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right? Picture Quote #1

I think I may have been the first grown man in the world to fall truly, passionately, sexually, romantically and sentimentally in love. I practically invented it Picture Quote #1

I imagine that God Himself frequently wants to feel like a king. Why else would He create the world? Picture Quote #1

If the chance ever comes to you to fall in love, grab it, every time. You might always live to regret it, but you won't find anything to beat it, and you won't know if it will come to you once more Picture Quote #1

I never even realized I was Jewish until I was practically grown up. Or rather, I used to feel that everybody in the world was Jewish, which amounts to the same thing Picture Quote #1

For women... Bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique Picture Quote #1

Pornography is the instruction. Rape is the practice, battered women are the practice, and battered children are the practice 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

When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge - one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of the abyss. But the word may be misleading. It means many things. Fear. Fear of forgetting. And of remembering. Fear of madness Picture Quote #1

There may be as much nobility in being last as in being first, because the two positions are equally necessary in the world, the one to complement the other 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

The tapestry of history that seems so full of tragedy when viewed from the front has countless comic scenes woven into its reverse side. In truth, tragedy and comedy are the twin masks of history - its mass appeal Picture Quote #1

Men play at tragedy because they do not believe in the reality of the tragedy which is actually being staged in the civilised world Picture Quote #1

Many ideas have been transformed by adding one crucial adjective - womens bank, womens music, womens studies, women's caucus. That adjective did more than change a phrase. It implied a lot of new content: child care, flexible work hours, new standards of creditworthiness, new symbolism, new lyrics 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

The act of writing is for me often nothing more than the secret or conscious desire to carve words on a tombstone: to the memory of a town forever vanished, to the memory of a childhood in exile, to the memory of all those I loved and who, before I could tell them I loved them, went away Picture Quote #1

Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain 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

Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men 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'd like to be played as a child by Natalie Wood. I'd have some romantic scenes as Audrey Hepburn and have gritty black-and-white scenes as Patricia Neal 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

No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office Picture Quote #1

Unless we include a job as part of every citizen's right to autonomy and personal fulfillment, women will continue to be vulnerable to someone else's idea of what need is 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

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long? Picture Quote #1

I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and the courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words Picture Quote #1

As the little boy said when asked if he wanted to be a lawyer like his mother, Oh no, that's women's work. Logic has nothing to do with oppression Picture Quote #1
