What would happen if we listened to children as much as we talked to them?
Gloria Steinem

The Internet is an almost miraculous way of getting information, of finding and organizing with each other, both minutely and globally. A million times better than the phone and the mimeograph! Also much better than TV, which is one-way and passive.
Gloria Steinem
Image
To punish the individual for the sins of the system makes no sense. We're responsible for changing it, yes. But we can't actually invent another universe, so we have to start where we are.
Gloria Steinem
Image
In order to make a choice, you need the power to see there is one.
Gloria Steinem
Image
How ever sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, religion or all four.
Gloria Steinem
Image
The need to treat ourselves as well as we treat others. It's women's version of the Golden Rule.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.
