More quotes by Gloria Steinem
By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.
Gloria Steinem
We have to imagine change before we can begin to move toward it.
Gloria Steinem
We all know as we travel around this country or around the world that there are huge problems, and also people doing amazing things on the ground - but those people rarely get reported. Our media are so into conflict that they sometimes say to me, Bring an 'anti' with you.
Gloria Steinem
Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.
Gloria Steinem
It's important that we recognize how extreme the Republicans are in almost every case and how against our self-interest it is to vote for them whether or not we are disappointed with the current crew. At least they believe in the Constitution. At least they have an idea of economic justice. The Republicans are devoted to creating more rich folks.
Gloria Steinem
Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage
Gloria Steinem
The most impersonal seeming audiences eventually just say such intimate, smart, wise, amazing, totally surprising, funny things. It's empowering, in the sense of feeling like you're a part of something really important.
Gloria Steinem
We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature.
Gloria Steinem
Our children are the only people on whom we can safely take revenge for what was done to us.
Gloria Steinem
Whatever you want to do,do it now.
Gloria Steinem
Worry less about solutions from the top or the idea that there is a solution, but try to do whatever you can and instill in each action the values that you want to result.
Gloria Steinem
In my own mind, I am still a fat brunette from Toledo, and I always will be.
Gloria Steinem
Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form.
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
Marriage works best for men than women. The two happiest groups are married men and unmarried women.
Gloria Steinem
We have to learn to stand up for our interests. To seek purity is self-defeating and a stereotype in itself: women have to be pure, women are not concerned about money.
Gloria Steinem
When gender comes down upon us, male or female, it comes as a restriction.
Gloria Steinem
People are quite clear in viewing nuns as the servants and the teachers and the supporters of the poor. You contrast that with the fact that the Vatican did virtually nothing about long-known pedophiles, and it's just too much.
Gloria Steinem
Life after 50 or 60 is itself another country, as different as adolescence is from childhood, or as adulthood is from adolescence - and just as adventurous.
Gloria Steinem
I hate when people say, Have fun at the press preview. Fun is talking to you.
