inspirational positive dream
Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
laughter native-american thinking
I think laughter is crucial. Some of the original cultures, like the Dalit and the Native American, don't separate laughter and seriousness.
women home play
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.
dream believe long
I want to say to you that there is life and dreams and surprises after 30-and 40, and 50, and 60, and 77! Believe me, life is one long surprise.
jobs sex feminism
A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.
worry should companion
I would say don't worry about what you should do, do whatever you can. And seek companions with shared values.
struggle collective-effort organization
The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights
strong-women taken power
Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.
empathy mind body
Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.
country media people
We all know as we travel around this country or around the world that there are huge problems, and also people doing amazing things on the ground - but those people rarely get reported. Our media are so into conflict that they sometimes say to me, "Bring an 'anti' with you."
witty powerful philosophy
Logic is in the eye of the logician.
atheist jobs believe
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
feminist skins body
The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen's skin.
rights freedom-of-speech culture
The androcentric, patriarchal cultures, whatever you want to call it, are quite new. So, every economic statement should start with reproduction, not production. Every statement for human rights ought to include reproduction as a basic human right, like freedom of speech.
