Gloria Steinem
A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.
Gloria Steinem
Don't listen to me. Listen to yourself ... People often ask me at this age, 'Who am I passing the torch to?' First of all, I'm not giving up my torch, thank you! I'm using my torch to light other people's torches. ... If we each have a torch, there's a lot more light.
Gloria Steinem

An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.
Gloria Steinem
I think it's important to see the parallels, and to understand that our masculine and feminine roles are relatively new in human history. Both gender and race are inventions that go deep because we have been raised with them, but they are still inventions.
Gloria Steinem
One of our biggest problems in terms of effectiveness is that we have hopes, but our opposition has interests. We measure everything against our hopes, including politicians that we are voting for or choosing amongst. We don't measure up to our hopes ourselves.
Gloria Steinem
Racism is not real, it's made up, it's cruel, it can be stopped.
Gloria Steinem
I'm not sure that it's up to me to sum up what I've done with it in the past. I'm not sure there's a way of knowing what we have done that is useful or important.
Gloria Steinem
Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.
Gloria Steinem
Why are solutions not just as newsworthy as problems? The notion that hostility is necessary all the time to create interest and news is not going to help us [humanity] come to agreements and solve the huge problems we have.
Gloria Steinem
Society certainly encourages women to be victims in every way. I mean if we want approval, we have to sing the blues, even as singers we sing the blues.
Gloria Steinem
When the past dies, there is mourning, but when the future dies our imaginations are compelled to carry it on.
Gloria Steinem
We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.
Gloria Steinem
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
