More quotes by Naomi Wolf
It is foolish for people to think they can align themselves and be safe in a police state.
Naomi Wolf
Democracy is disruptive. Around the world, peaceful protesters are being demonised for this, but there is no right in a democratic civil society to be free of disruption. Protesters ideally should read Gandhi and King and dedicate themselves to disciplined, long-term, non-violent disruption of business as usual - especially disruption of traffic.
Naomi Wolf
We as women are trained to see ourselves as cheap imitations of fashion photographs, rather than seeing fashion photographs as cheap imitations of women
Naomi Wolf
Sexiness is no longer defined just as whether we are desirable, but also what we desire. The more liberated women become - economically, politically, and personally - the more erotic we are. Freedom is a lot sexier than dependency.
Naomi Wolf
Women have face-lifts in a society in which women without them appear to vanish from sight.
Naomi Wolf
When people get this consciousness of the way things are supposed to be in America - that the locus of agency is in them, that they are supposed to be the ones setting the agenda - if people believe this, they get very energized. Yeah, it's annoying to have this extra burden of saving the country.
Naomi Wolf
The media needs to tell a story. And whenever there's a new generation, you know, with a new conversation, it's handy to say well, these are the angry young men, these are the hippies, these are the boomers.
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.
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
I'll go anywhere to talk about the Constitution. I believe in trans-partisan organizing around these issues.
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
I am delighted to be joining 'Guardian U.S.''s team as a weekly columnist, and to have the chance to address American and global current events on its distinguished platform. 'Guardian U.S.' brings the 'Guardian''s hard-hitting investigative brand to a new focus on American news and opinion.
Naomi Wolf
To find freedom and happiness in each others' arms, or you know, inside their own bodies and minds. That is a very empowering thing in a society that's trying to control us all the time.
Naomi Wolf
In 70s America, protest used to be very effective, but in subsequent decades municipalities have sneakily created a web of overpermiticisation - requirements that were designed to stifle freedom of assembly and the right to petition government for redress of grievances, both of which are part of our first amendment.
Naomi Wolf
How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America, that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?

What editors are obliged to appear to say that
Naomi Wolf
At least a third of a woman's life is marked with aging about a third of her body is made of fat. Both symbols are being transformed into operable condition
Naomi Wolf
What becomes of a man who acquires a beautiful woman, with her 'beauty' his sole target? He sabotages himself. He has gained no friend, no ally, no mutual trust: She knows quite well why she has been chosen. He has succeeded in buying something: the esteem of other men who find such an acquisition impressive.
Naomi Wolf
Frankly, liberals are out of the habit of communicating with anyone outside their own in cohort. We have a cultural problem with self-righteousness and elitism.
Naomi Wolf
A Mother who radiates self-love and self-acceptance actually VACCINATES her daughter against low self-esteem.
