It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.

More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I have me brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words.
Gloria Steinem
Law and justice are not always the same.
Gloria Steinem
If [George] Zimmerman had been arrested for domestic violence, Trayvon Martin might still be alive.
Gloria Steinem
no one ever got radicalized by being grateful
Gloria Steinem
I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life.
Gloria Steinem
I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.
Gloria Steinem
People start to talk about post-racist, post-feminist. What does that mean? We're clearly not post either. Would you say post-democracy? Clearly we haven't reached true democracy yet.
Gloria Steinem
Obviously, untangling sex from aggression and violence or the threat of it is going to take a very long time. And the process is going to be greatly resisted as a challenge to the very heart of male dominance and male centrality.
Gloria Steinem
When you attempt something new, there's always fear. A couple of helpful slogans to me are follow the fear or fear is a sign of growth.
Gloria Steinem
Sex and race, because they are easy and visible differences, have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour on which this system still depends.
Gloria Steinem
Many ideas have been transformed by adding one crucial adjective-women's bank, women's music, women's studies, women's caucus. That adjective did more than change a phrase. It implied a lot of new content: child care, flexible work hours, new standards of creditworthiness, new symbolism, new lyrics.
Gloria Steinem
People waste more time waiting for someone to take charge of their lives than they do in any other pursuit.
Gloria Steinem
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
Gloria Steinem
anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn't, that's judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses.
Gloria Steinem
What we experience in our childhoods that comes to seem normal, or even inevitable, is that if you are placed in a hierarchy, you probably are immediately anxious about going further down and you're striving to go further up, so your energies get placed into becoming more than, or at least not becoming less than, instead of becoming part
Gloria Steinem
I don't want to die saying but, you know? There's so much I want to do, so I want more time.
Gloria Steinem
When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was, and that my real parents were going to come get me. I was just too different from the rest of the family, so I lived in books and in my imagination.
Gloria Steinem
I spend a lot of time on college campuses, and I don't quite understand where the idea comes from that young women are not moving forward. In fact, statistically, if you look at the public opinion polls, young women are much more supportive of feminism and feminist issues than older women are.
Gloria Steinem
Most women are one man away from welfare.
Gloria Steinem
Nature doesn't move in a straight line, and as part of nature, neither do we.
