Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage (Wo Quotes)
Women fear endangering men's approval so much, we don't even wait for them to say no. Or else we protect them, even if it means saying no to ourselves (Wo Quotes)

I'm still the same person who grew up mostly in a Midwestern, factory-working neighborhood where talk about self-esteem would have seemed like a luxury (Wo Quotes)
The uncomfortable truth seems to be that the amount of talk by women has been measured less against the amount of men's talk than against the expectation of female silence (Wo Quotes)

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 (Wo Quotes)
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future (Wo Quotes)
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 (Wo Quotes)
Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories (Wo Quotes)

Or that racism and fanaticism would flourish once again, we would not have believed it (Wo Quotes)
What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls (Wo Quotes)
Stretched out on a plank of wood amid a multitude of blood-covered corpses, fear frozen in his eyes, a mask of suffering on the bearded, stricken mask that was his face, my father gave back his soul at Buchenwald (Wo Quotes)
Man, by definition, is born a stranger: coming from nowhere, he is thrust into an alien world which existed before him - a world which didn't need him. And which will survive him (Wo Quotes)
The deeper the nostalgia and the more complete the fear, the purer, the richer the word and the secret (Wo Quotes)
Granted that every war is madness - civil war, fratricide, is the worst of all; it reaches deeper into ugliness, cruelty and absurdity (Wo Quotes)
