fire quotes by ODELL SHEPHERD-1503770628
One can enjoy a wood fire worthily only when he warms his thoughts by it as well as his hands and feet.
fire quotes by ROGER L'ESTRANGE-1503756143
It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters.
fire quotes by CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER-1503754713
To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world.
feminism quotes by JAMES MCNEILL WHISTLER-1503753251
My advice to the women's clubs of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias.
feminism quotes by VIRGINIA WOOLF-1503751980
All this pitting of sex against sex, of quality against quality; all this claiming of superiority and imputing of inferiority belong to the private-school stage of human existence where there are sides, and it is necessary for one side to beat another side.
feminism quotes by CYNTHIA HEIMEL-1503747836
One does not have to sleep with, or even touch, someone who has paid for your meal. All those obligations are hereby rendered null and void, and any man who doesn't think so needs a quick jab in the kidney.
feminism quotes by FAY WELDON-1503735461
Men are irrelevant. Women are happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, and it has nothing to do with men.
feminism quotes by SALLY KEMPTON-1503730115
Men define intelligence, men define usefulness, men tell us what is beautiful, men even tell us what is womanly.
feminism quotes by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON-1503728363
The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
feminism quotes by ATTRIBUTED TO BOTH ELEANOR ROOSEVELT AND CARL SANDBURG-1503723259
A woman is like a tea bag. It's only when she's in hot water that you realize how strong she is.
feminism quotes by ELIZABETH JANEWAY-1503721939
We haven't come a long way, we've come a short way. If we hadn't come a short way, no one would be calling us baby.
feminism quotes by JANE RULE-1503683273
I didn't want to be a boy, ever, but I was outraged that his height and intelligence were graces for him and gaucheries for me.
feminism quotes by CYNTHIA HEIMEL-1503681641
During the feminist revolution, the battle lines were again simple. It was easy to tell the enemy, he was the one with the penis. This is no longer strictly true. Some men are okay now. We're allowed to like them again. We still have to keep them in line, of course, but we no longer have to shoot them on sight.
feminism quotes by MIGNON MCLAUGHLIN-1503679871
Many beautiful women have been made happy by their own beauty, but no intelligent woman has ever been made happy by her own intelligence.
feminism quotes by BARBARA KINGSOLVER-1503678168
Why is it that only girls stand on the sides of their feet? As if they're afraid to plant themselves?
feminism quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1503676646
Because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we're the first to get fired and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it's our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos and if we don't we're frigid and if we love women it's because we can't get a "real" man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy and if we expect childcare we're selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine" and if we don't we're typical weak females and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man and if we don't we're unnatural and because we still can't get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon and if we can't cope or don't want a pregnancy we're made to feel guilty about abortion and...for lots of other reasons we are part of the women's liberation movement.
feminism quotes by IVY COMPTON-BURNETT-1503675415
There is more difference within the sexes than between them.
feminism quotes by MERCY B. JACKSON-1503673854
Our only hope for the redemption of woman from the thralldom of dress lies in the belief that her hitherto limited sphere of activities has been so insufficient for her intellectual occupations that she has been forced to expend her thoughts in decorating her person, instead of enlarging her mind.
fire quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1503672293
Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor.
fire quotes by HORACE-1503668170
Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire.
fire quotes by JACK HANDEY-1503666849
If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what really throws you into a panic.
feminism quotes by GLORIA STEINEM-1503665109
We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.
feminism quotes by MORGAN TORVA-1503663639
Tomboys are an assertion of reality, of practicality. Forced femininity is a waste of energy and resources, and therefore of oneself. Live to live.
feminism quotes by WILL ROGERS-1503653561
Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised. There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.
feminism quotes by BERTRAND RUSSELL-1503652030
Marriage is for women the commonest mode of livelihood, and the total amount of undesired sex endured by women is probably greater in marriage than in prostitution.
feminism quotes by ISADORA DUNCAN-1503648519
Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.
feminism quotes by MAUREEN MURPHY-1503647188
The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.
feminism quotes by CYNTHIA HEIMEL-1503645947
We have to have faith in ourselves. I have never met a woman who, deep down in her core, really believes she has great legs. And if she suspects that she might have great legs, then she's convinced that she has a shrill voice and no neck.
feminism quotes by EDITH EVANS-1503644705
When a woman behaves like a man, why doesn't she behave like a nice man?
feminism quotes by JILL RUCKELSHAUS-1503643025
No one should have to dance backward all of their lives.
feminism quotes by ERICA JONG-1503641367
And the crazy part of it was even if you were clever, even if you spent your adolescence reading John Donne and Shaw, even if you studied history or zoology or physics and hoped to spend your life pursuing some difficult and challenging career, you still had a mind full of all the soupy longings that every high-school girl was awash in... underneath it, all you longed to be was annihilated by love, to be swept off your feet, to be filled up by a giant prick spouting sperm, soapsuds, silk and satins and, of course, money.
feminism quotes by LILY TOMLIN-1503639704
To me, "sexual freedom" means freedom from having to have sex.
feminism quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWNPROCESSED WORLD-1503638271
It starts when you sink in his arms and ends with your arms in his sink.
feminism quotes by ERICA JONG-1503636761
Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.
feminism quotes by MARYA MANNES-1503635208
Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, a good mother, good-looking, good-tempered, well-dressed, well-groomed, and unaggressive.
feminism quotes by RALPH NADER-1503594759
Young wives are the leading asset of corporate power. They want the suburbs, a house, a settled life, and respectability. They want society to see that they have exchanged themselves for something of value.
feminism quotes by ERICA JONG-1503593409
Isn't that the problem? That women have been swindled for centuries into substituting adornment for love, fashion (as it were) for passion?
feminism quotes by NANCY LINN-DESMOND-1503591658
Easy is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man.
feminism quotes by LYNN HECHT SCHAFREN-1503589928
Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile?
feminism quotes by SHANA ALEXANDER-1503588686
When two people marry they become in the eyes of the law one person, and that one person is the husband.
feminism quotes by BETTY FRIEDAN-1503587315
Men weren't really the enemy - they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill.
feminism quotes by BETTY ROLLIN-1503585534
Scratch most feminists and underneath there is a woman who longs to be a sex object. The difference is that is notallshe wants to be.
feminism quotes by BILL COPELAND-1503581061
Not only is women's work never done, the definition keeps changing.
feminism quotes by JANE HOWARD-1503579635
Several men I can think of are as capable, as smart, as funny, as compassionate, and as confused - as remarkable you might say - as most women.
feminism quotes by VIVA-1503577908
American women are fools because they try to be everything to everybody.
feminism quotes by MIGNON MCLAUGHLIN-1503576258
It's wonderful to watch a pretty woman with character grow beautiful.
feminism quotes by BETTY FRIEDAN-1503564342
The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
feminism quotes by GOLDA MEIR-1503511123
Whether women are better than men I cannot say - but I can say they are certainly no worse.
feminism quotes by WILMA SCOTT HEIDE-1503509556
The only jobs for which no man is qualified are human incubators and wet nurse. Likewise, the only job for which no woman is or can be qualified is sperm donor.
feminism quotes by MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT-1503507793
Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
feminism quotes by PAT ROBERTSON-1503502966
[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.
feminism quotes by JERRY FALWELL-1503501574
I listen to feminists and all these radical gals - most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men - that's their problem.
feminism quotes by MARY ASTELL-1503500089
If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?
feminism quotes by GROVER CLEVELAND-1503498697
Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.
feminism quotes by CINDY OLSEN-1503495453
I am beautiful as I am. I am the shape that was gifted. My breasts are no longer perky and upright like when I was a teenager. My hips are wider than that of a fashion model's. For this I am glad, for these are the signs of a life lived.
feminism quotes by ELIZABETH CADY STANTON-1503493912
I would have girls regard themselves not as adjectives but as nouns.
feminism quotes by ESTELLE R. RAMEY-1503492601
Women's chains have been forged by men, not by anatomy.
feminism quotes by MARY WORTLEY MONTAGU-1503477520
Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet.
feminism quotes by SHEILA ROWBOTHAM-1503474968
Men will often admit other women are oppressed but not you.
feminism quotes by ROBIN MORGAN-1503473227
Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. We're not inherently anything but human.
feminism quotes by SPANISH PROVERB-1503460473
To tell a woman everything she may not do is to tell her what she can do.
feminism quotes by LUCRETIA MOTT-1503420925
The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.
feminism quotes by PAULA COLE-1503412330
I've left Bethlehem, and I feel free. I've left the girl I was supposed to be, and some day I'll be born.
feminism quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1503410569
How good does a female athlete have to be before we just call her an athlete?
feminism quotes by GLORIA STEINEM-1503407981
A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual.
feminism quotes by JANE FONDA-1503406333
A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring.
feminism quotes by SUSAN B. ANTHONY-1503393267
Resolved, that the women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.
feminism quotes by ROBERT MUELLER-1503389643
I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war.
feminism quotes by LIZ STANLEY AND SUE WISE-1503381406
Feminism directly confronts the idea that one person or set of people [has] the right to impose definitions of reality on others.
feminism quotes by BARBARA GRIZZUTI HARRISON-1503338383
I refuse to believe that trading recipes is silly. Tunafish casserole is at least as real as corporate stock.
feminism quotes by GLORIA STEINEM-1503335001
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
feminism quotes by JOAN BAEZ-1503333736
Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry.
feminism quotes by BELLA ABZUG-1503332093
The test for whether or not you can hold a job should not be the arrangement of your chromosomes.
feminism quotes by FLORYNCE KENNEDY-1503330742
There are very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. All other jobs should be open to everybody.
feminism quotes by MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT-1503329399
I do not wish them to have power over men, but over themselves.
feminism quotes by SARAH MOORE GRIMKE-1503327918
I ask no favors for my sex.... All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks.
feminism quotes by MADELEINE K. ALBRIGHT-1503326437
There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women.
feminism quotes by MARLO THOMAS-1503325051
One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.
feminism quotes by SUSAN B. ANTHONY-1503323605
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less.
feminism quotes by SALLY KEMPTON-1503321995
I became a feminist as an alternative to becoming a masochist.
feminism quotes by RABBI SOFER-1503320670
No woman is required to build the world by destroying herself.
feminism quotes by LOIS WYSE-1503318900
Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.
feminism quotes by JOSEPH CONRAD-1503305485
Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.
feminism quotes by JULIA WARD HOWE-1503304194
When I see the elaborate study and ingenuity displayed by women in the pursuit of trifles, I feel no doubt of their capacity for the most herculean undertakings.
feminism quotes by ANONYMOUS-1503300006
I was told that whistling wasn't ladylike, but I knew even then that women were simply not supposed to be that happy.
feminism quotes by ANAIS NIN-1503297148
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who ha
feminism quotes by MADONNA CICCONE-1503295537
I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.
feminism quotes by ALANIS MORISSETTE-1503248089
I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.

feminism quotes by ROSEANNE BARR-1503235356
The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.
feminism quotes by HENRY KISSINGER-1503233644

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.
