More quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty. From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now.
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
A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it.
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
In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than the Americans.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time.
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
If a woman is really injured by her marriage, she should sue under the employer liability act. She should claim damages--not alimony.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The best proof of man's dissatisfaction with the home is found in his universal absence from it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The mother- poor invaded soul- finds even the bathroom door no bar to hammering little hands.
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
I'm sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The home is a human institution. All human institutions are open to improvement.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It will be a great thing for the human soul when it finally stops worshipping backwards.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
We grovel and worship and pray to God to do what we ourselves ought to have done a thousand years ago, and can do now, as soon as we choose.
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
It is the duty of youth to bring fresh new powers to bear on Social progress. Each generation of young people should be to the world like a vast reserve force to a tired army. They should life the world forward. That is what they are for.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I ran against a Prejudice that quite cut off the view.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.
