More quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The female of genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The stony-minded orthodox were right in fearing the first movement of new knowledge and free thought. It has gone on, and will go on, irresistibly, until some day we shall have no respect for an alleged truth which cannot stand the full blaze of knowledge, the full force of active thought.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It will be a great thing for the human soul when it finally stops worshipping backwards.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

There's heaven. There it is. What more do we mean? People, free to come together, and in beauty - for growth.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Patriotism, red hot, is compatible with the existence of a neglect of national interests, a dishonesty, a cold indifference to the suffering of millions. Patriotism is largely pride, and very largely combativeness. Patriotism generally has a chip on its shoulder.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Said I, in scorn all burning hot,In rage and anger high,You ignominious idiot,Those wings are made to fly!
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A house does not need a wife any more than it needs a husband.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I have preferred chloroform to cancer
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I do not want to be a fly,I want to be a worm!
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The one predominant duty is to find one's work and do it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
