I'm suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias
Andrew Cohen
Image
We have been very conditioned by the cultures that we come from and are usually very identified with the particular gender that we happen to be a member of.
Andrew Cohen
Image
In my experience, men are not necessarily less sensitive or compassionate than women are, and women are not necessarily any less aggressive or competitive than men are - as a matter of fact, often they are more so!
Andrew Cohen

Oh literature, oh the glorious Art, how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us, and chucks us aside. Alas!
D. H. Lawrence
Image
If someone knows me and likes me or my work, they're more likely to allow me to tell their story. But it also cuts the other way.
Anderson Cooper
Image
The world reacts very strangely to people they see on TV, and I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you're not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you're special and begin to expect it. For a reporter, that's the kiss of death.
Anderson Cooper
Image
Literature gives us a memory of lives we did not lead.
Mason Cooley
Image
A lot of compelling stories in the world aren't being told, and the fact that people don't know about them compounds the suffering.
