More quotes by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The time is approaching when we shall consider it abhorrent to our civilization to allow a human being to die in prolonged agony which we should mercifully end in any other creature.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To-day there is hardly a woman of intelligence in all America ... who is not definitely and actively concerned in some social interest, who does not recognize some duty besides those incident to her own blood relationship.
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
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
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
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
There's heaven. There it is. What more do we mean? People, free to come together, and in beauty - for growth.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Not woman, but the condition of woman, has always been a doorway of evil.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide—plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The softest, freest, most pliable and changeful living substance is the brain-the hardest and most iron-bound as well.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The people people have for friends Your common sense appall But the people people marry Are the queerest folk of all.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A family unity which is only bound together with a table-cloth is of questionable value.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
A man's honor always seems to want to kill a woman to satisfy it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
all social relations exist and grow in the human mind. That one despot can rule over a million other men rests absolutely on their state of mind. They believe that he does let them change their minds, and he does not.
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
Said I, in scorn all burning hot,In rage and anger high,You ignominious idiot,Those wings are made to fly!
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
