More quotes by Gloria Steinem
Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they're disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment.
Gloria Steinem
I think we all have the power to name ourselves. I try to call people what it is they wish to be called. But we can take the sting out of epithets and bad words by using them.
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
I am terminally sentimental about graduations. They are more individual than weddings, more conscious than christenings, or bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs. They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals-though I assure you, there is life after graduation.
Gloria Steinem
Most art in the world does not have a capital 'A,' but is a way of turning everyday objects into personal expressions.
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
It's hard to measure success when we're dealing with between 500 and 5,000 years of patriarchy depending on which continent we sit, so I would say feminism has been successful and we have a huge distance to go, huge.
Gloria Steinem
Women are always saying,We can do anything that men cando. But Men should be saying,We can do anything that women can do.
Gloria Steinem
Now we know that women can do what men can do..., but we don't know that men can do what women can do.
Gloria Steinem
Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.
Gloria Steinem
If what's inside your dreams wasn't already real inside you, you couldn't even dream it.
Gloria Steinem
Like art, revolutions come from combining what exists into what has never existed before.
Gloria Steinem
I was not considered beautiful before I was a feminist. I was a pretty girl before, but suddenly, after I was publicly identified as a feminist, I was beautiful. So, many people were really commenting on what they thought feminists looked like.
Gloria Steinem
What I think we need to do is infuse everyday and every action with the kind of values we hope will be in the future, with kindness, with nurturing, with dreams, ambition, using your talents, not resorting to violence, other forms of conflict resolution, with humor, with poetry, with music.
Gloria Steinem
Sexuality has always been for humans a form of communication, a way we express love and caring and bonding, not only a way we have children if we choose to.
Gloria Steinem
I wasn't ever unable to function, but I did realize at some point that I had built a wall between myself and my childhood by saying, I'm so glad that's over. Nothing can ever be as bad again, without understanding that my childhood was still very much with me.
Gloria Steinem
There's more variation among human groups than between human groups.
Gloria Steinem
... anything a powerful group has is perceived as good, no matter what it is, and anything a less powerful group has is not so good, no matter how intrinsically great it might be.
Gloria Steinem
it's possible to be pro-sex and anti-pornography.
Gloria Steinem
Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.
