Eckhart Tolle
Image
The greatest feminists have also been the greatest lovers. I'm thinking not only of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley, but of Anais Nin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of course Sappho. You cannot divide creative juices from human juices. And as long as juicy women are equated with bad women, we will err on the side of being bad.
Erica Jong
Image
I do not think that a man's rise to power is necessarily the climax of his life or that his loss of office should be equated with his fall.
Isaac Deutscher

A devotion to humanity is... too easily equated with a devotion to a Cause, and Causes, as we know, are notoriously bloodthirsty.
James A. Baldwin
Image
Sensitivity is equated with weakness. Feelings are for women. It's OK to express happiness or anger, but it's not OK to feel fear or sadness. This gets exaggerated in prison.

I don't believe the fertilised egg can be equated with the sort of human life that you and I represent, or our children represent.
Robert Winston
Image
But no one, when you stop to think, has ever equated abstract expressionism as a movement with jazz music. It's based on improvisation. The rhythms, the personal involvement, all of this is part of the jazz experience.
Romare Bearden
Image
Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Image
As a kid, I wanted to be a boy because I equated that with strength. There's a problem with that. It's only growing into my own womanhood that I realize how warped that is that I was attributing strength to male qualities.
Tatiana Maslany
Image
The nearer emotional life approaches to hysteria, to continual outward show, the less genuine it becomes. Feeling becomes equated with vehemence of expression, so that insincerity becomes permanent.
Anthony Daniels
Image
The Indians knew that life was equated with the earth and its resources, that America was a paradise, and they could not comprehend why the intruders from the East were determined to destroy all that was Indian as well as America itself.
Dee Brown
Image
Complexity and profundity have been equated by the academic culture just as fame and significance have been conflated by the popular culture. Fame and significance have nothing to do with one another and complexity and profundity have nothing to do with one another.
Dennis Prager
Image
Concealment is equated, unknowingly to ourselves, with individuality the more we conceal the more it seems we are asserting our very personality, resisting a somewhat repellent, unwelcome intrusion of other things into ourselves.
Eli Siegel
Image

Henry A. Kissinger
Image
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod And where power and position are equated with the grace of God These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east
Jackson Browne
Image
Once freedom is equated with a certain material standard of living, confiscation becomes the path to liberation.
James Bovard
Image
In rendering its decision in our case, the Supreme Court equated money with speech because these days it takes the first to make yourself heard.
James L. Buckley
Image
Science can only be comprehended epistemologically, which means as one category of possible knowledge, as long as knowledge is not equated either effusively with the absolute knowledge of a great philosophy or blindly with scientistic self-understanding of the actual business of research.
Jurgen Habermas
Image
Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Not one of the first six [U.S.] presidents was an orthodox Christian. Most of the founders were Deists, who doubted that Christ was a god and equated God with the power behind nature, as discerned by science.
Robert Sherrill
Image
We live in a world where bulk is equated with quality.
