More quotes by Gloria Steinem
I never quite trust futurists because I think they're kind of telling us what they think our future should be.
Gloria Steinem
it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.
Gloria Steinem
At my age, in this still hierarchical time, people often ask me if I’m “passing the torch.” I explain that I’m keeping my torch, thank you very much-and I’m using it to light the torches of others.
Gloria Steinem
I think that there is clearly an understanding that the women's market is an important market. It's still often perceived as separate when it's not.
Gloria Steinem
We all have good instincts unless they're beaten out of us or shamed out of us in childhood.
Gloria Steinem
Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.
Gloria Steinem
The political is personal.
Gloria Steinem
you never know which thing you do is going to turn out to be important. I'm sure we've all done very small things that had very great impact and very big things that didn't make any difference. So, create the means that best reflect the ends we want. Try to make each moment authentic, and you'll get to an authentic end.
Gloria Steinem
I don't like writing. I like having written.
Gloria Steinem
The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example.
Gloria Steinem
One day an army of gray-haired women may quietly take over the Earth!
Gloria Steinem
Go out and find your own stories.That is what I want to tell you.
Gloria Steinem
If you consider that the gender roles are just political, then what you come to see is that the full circle of human qualities is divided up so that two-thirds are masculine and one-third is feminine. Women are missing more of their human qualities, so you'll find us on the fore-front of trying to change this.
Gloria Steinem
The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols-all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent s needs.
Gloria Steinem
I would say that each of us has only one thing to gain from the feminist movement: Our whole humanity. Because gender has wrongly told us that some things are masculine and some things are feminine... which is bullshit.
Gloria Steinem
Writing is always harder than talking.
Gloria Steinem
In almost any situation, if you have been the powerful one, which would tend to be men more than women but not always, it's very important to listen as much as you talk. If you have been the less powerful one, it's very important to talk as much as you listen.
Gloria Steinem
This is the wisdom: If we bless our bodies, they will bless us.
Gloria Steinem
It's a big gift to be recognizable as part of something that matters to people, but that's not the same as being responsible for something.
Gloria Steinem
Perhaps the worst thing about suffering is that it finally hardens the hearts of those around it.
Gloria Steinem
