More quotes by Naomi Wolf
The symbolic value of having an African-American president has certainly eased some racial tensions in America, but they're not gone.
Naomi Wolf
From 1970 onwards, our culture told both sexes that individual expression was paramount. And for women, that was defined as the right to choose an interesting a career, a high-status mate, the desirable handbag or vacation, the perfect family size, and a definitionally fruitless quest for 'perfection.'
Naomi Wolf
Historically, when a leader has deployed his own military against civilians, it's never been good. There's never been a time where it's ended well.
Naomi Wolf
I've never understood this puritanical idea that feminism has to be a cult. You know, we all have to think alike or dress alike or have a similar ideology.
Naomi Wolf
We need people to be alert and thinking for themselves and connected to each other and connected to that sense of hope and empowerment and radical chutzpah that the founding generation had and intended us to have.

If the whole world is a battlefield, then the United States is also a battlefield.
Naomi Wolf
I'm a big believer in debate and difference of opinion.

To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren't is to learn inequality in little ways all day long.

The Tea Party is not monolithic. There is a battle between people who care about liberty and the Constitution and the Republican Establishment who is trying to take ownership of it and redirect it for its own purposes.
Naomi Wolf
Women's orgasms will quadruple in intensity if she's in a beautiful, dimly lit room versus a brightly lit, uncomfortable room.
Naomi Wolf
Today a woman must ignore her reflection in the eyes of her lover, since he might admire her, and seek it in the gaze of the God of Beauty, in whose perception she is never complete.
Naomi Wolf
The more legal and material hindrances women have broken through, the more strictly and heavily and cruelly images of female beauty have come to weigh upon them.
Naomi Wolf
The Tea Party emerged from a laudably grassroots base: libertarians, fervent Constitutionalists, and ordinary people alarmed at the suppression of liberties, whether by George W. Bush or Barack Obama.
Naomi Wolf
I am worried that Americans I have met on my journey across the country, seem very hopeless and are feeling powerless to make change and are feeling passive. I'm not blaming them. But one thing we need at a time like this is for people to feel empowered and angry.
Naomi Wolf
I'll go anywhere to talk about the Constitution. I believe in trans-partisan organizing around these issues.
Naomi Wolf
I met Muslim immigrants in Brooklyn who were swept up in 9-11 raids, held in abusive conditions, beaten, denied rights. That's how things started in Germany. Guantanamo was modeled after what Stalin developed for the Gulag.
Naomi Wolf
For I conclude that the enemy is not lipstick, but guilt itself that we deserve lipstick, if we want it, AND free speech we deserve to be sexual AND serious--or whatever we please we are entitled to wear cowboy boots to our own revolution.

What editors are obliged to appear to say that men want from women is actually what their advertisers want from women.
