More quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I'm sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The peculiarity of all death-based religions is that their subject-matter is entirely outside of facts. Men could think and think, talk and argue, advance, deny, assert, and controversy, and write innumerable books, without being hampered at any time by any fact.
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
And woman should stand beside man as the comrade of his soul, not the servant of his body.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Shall you complain who feed the world? Who clothe the world? Who house the world? Shall you complain who are the world, Of what the world may do? As from this hour You use your power, The world must follow you!
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Never in all her life had she imagined that this idolized millinery could look, to those who paid for it, like the decorations of an insane monkey.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
One religion after another has accepted and perpetuated man's original mistake in making a private servant of the mother of the race.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
In our steady insistence on proclaiming sex-distinction we have grown to consider most human attributes as masculine attributes, for the simple reason that they were allowed to men and forbidden to women.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Not woman, but the condition of woman, has always been a doorway of evil.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
There should be an end to the bitterness of feeling which has arisen between the sexes in this century.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A normal feminine influence in recasting our religious assumptions will do more than any other one thing to improve the world.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I have preferred chloroform to cancer
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Let us inquire what glory there was in an omnipotent being torturing forever a puny little creature who could in no way defend himself? Would it be to the glory of a man to fry ants?
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Architecture might be more sportive and varied if every man built his own house, but it would not be the art and science that we have made it and while every woman prepares food for her own family, cooking can never rise beyond the level of the amateur's work.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A concept is stronger than a fact.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To work is not only a right, it is a duty. To work to the full capacity of one's powers is necessary for human development - the full use of one's best faculties - this is the health and happiness for both man and woman.
