Gloria Steinem


1. “A pedestal is as much a prison as any small space.”
2. “I can't mate in captivity.”
3. "If men could menstruate. clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boastworthy, masculine event: Me would brag about how long and how much. Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali's Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields - 'For Those Light Bachelor Days."
4. “Logic is in the eye of the logician.”
5. “The surest way to be alone is to get married.”
6. “Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.”
7. ”The moment we find the reason behind an emotion the wall is breached, and the positive memories it has kept from us return too. That's why it pays to ask those painful questions. The answers can set you free.”
8. “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
9. “Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.”
