More quotes by Gail Sheehy
Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.
Gail Sheehy
It is Hillary's [Clinton] star power that radiates to every corner of the ballroom. New York bigwigs, such as financial-media impresario Michael Bloomberg, attorney and labor mediator Theodore Kheel, and District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, crane to see her.
Gail Sheehy
Democratization is not democracy it is a slogan for the temporary liberalization handed down from an autocrat. Glasnost is not free speech only free speech, constitutionally guaranteed, is free speech.
Gail Sheehy
The delights of self-discovery are always available.
Gail Sheehy
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living.
Gail Sheehy
My research offers impressive evidence that we feel better when we attempt to make our world better...to have a purpose beyond one's self lends to existence a meaning and direction - the most important characteristic of high well-being.
Gail Sheehy
If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.
Gail Sheehy
By listening, by caring, by playing you back to yourself, friends ratify your better instincts and endorse your unique worth. Friends validate you.
Gail Sheehy
To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist.
Gail Sheehy
Since nobody upstages Rudolph Giuliani, his will be a Broadway-class show, perhaps his final bravura performance before November 2000, when he hopes to be turned out of the mayor's office by virtue of his election to the United States Senate.
Gail Sheehy
Changes are not only possible and predictable, but to deny them is to be an accomplice to one's own unnecessary vegetation.
Gail Sheehy
When you have self-respect, you have enough.
Gail Sheehy
Adolescents are like cockroaches: They come out the minute you leave town, crawl the walls, feed indiscriminately, reproduce alarmingly unless drugged, and will certainly outlast you.
Gail Sheehy
The one thing prostitution is not is a 'victimless crime.' It attracts a wide species of preying criminals and generates a long line of victims, beginning with the most obvious and least understood - the prostitute herself.
Gail Sheehy
In the many times I have seen Hillary [Clinton] speak, she never fails to dazzle audiences by speaking in paragraphs, without notes.
Gail Sheehy
If menopause is the silent passage, 'male menopause' is the unspeakable passage. It is fraught with secrecy, shame, and denial. It is much more fundamental than the ending of the fertile period of a woman's life, because it strikes at the core of what it is to be a man.
Gail Sheehy
The [Hillary] Clinton campaign was still operating with a White House mentality.
Gail Sheehy
Frustration is the mother of risk.
Gail Sheehy
My mother had demonstrated that the best way to defeat the numbing ambivalence of middle age is to surprise yourself - by pulling off some cartwheel of thought or action never even imagined at a younger age.
Gail Sheehy
Speed as a drug disorganizes the personality speed as the goal of information dissemination commits a subtler crime. People are mainlining our words. We rarely read of the rational alternatives, only of the commands that all must change or else. This is a prescription for public panic.
