Text Quotes
Fifty-nine cents. For years, I wore a button - 59 cents.’ Many of my colleagues wore it also. The purpose was so that people would come up and ask, ‘What does 59 cents’ mean?’ One could then launch into a discussion about how women working full time in the U.S. earn 59 cents for every dollar earned by men. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
In the 1950s in the United States, few music lovers were listening to chamber music. Daddy played Bach and Haydn on our phonograph for me. Not only did I become familiar with the form; he discussed the concerti. My own head start. My own Head Start. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
In my opinion, right up there with free public schools, our free public library system is what makes citizenship possible, even what makes America great. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
The Metropolitan Opera, of course, is the gold standard in opera. The Met experience includes the huge stage, the vast audience, the elaborate sets. Anyone who saw ‘Faust’ there - I did - knows exactly what hell is like, complete with fire, smoke and terror. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
The irony is that the more we fight age, the more it shows. Paint on a 50-year-old face brings to mind a Gilbert and Sullivan comic figure. Smooth the cheeks, and suddenly the ear lobes and hands look out of place. Do we run around in October, painting the gold leaves green? (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Father’s Day each year makes me grateful for what my father did for me. This has little to do with our relationship, and much to do with what he taught me. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Our culture is intent on taking the lines out of people’s faces - surgically, with costly creams, and with fear and trembling - when, in fact, the opposite should be the case. As artists know, if there is anything behind a face, that face improves with age. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Composers most identified with the chamber music form are Corelli, Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and, of course, Bach. Of course, Bach. If there is any one composer who gives us reason and emotion, it is Bach. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
George McGovern - and I campaigned very hard for his election - was not, in the summer of 1971, a strong feminist ally. But he did come around. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Despite the strength of the feminist movement in the 1970s and beyond, a fable has persisted that educated women are rejected as marriage partners. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
If a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to term, and the biological father does not, and cannot, share in this decision, he should not be liable for 21 years of support... autonomous women making independent decisions about their lives should not expect men to finance their choice. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
The censors have always had a field day with James Joyce, specifically with ‘Ulysses,’ but also with his other writings. The conventional wisdom is that this is because of sexually explicit passages (and there certainly are those). I have always thought that what the critics hated and feared about Joyce is his cry for human freedom. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
How did abortion and birth control impact the congressional race of Dan Maffei and Ann Marie Buerkle or the presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney? I don’t know. But I think the so-called social issues were front and center in the minds of voters. These issues may indeed have lost the Republicans some elections. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Knowing constitutional law helps one at the opera. The trial in ‘Billy Budd,’ as example, invokes the fugitive slave clause of the U.S. Constitution. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Opera is the most complete art form. It includes drama, acting, technology (lighting), art (the sets), dance, and the epitome of the human voices. But mostly, go for the glorious music. The arts are crucial to the life of every community. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
In chamber music, the audience can hear each instrument and understand (and feel) what the composer and the musicians have in mind as they play. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
It is crucial to be healthy, for pain wipes out the possibility for pleasure, and severe pain removes the possibility of turning to the world outside the body. So we must establish the idea that it is important to look well, not to look young. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
In my opinion, the battles over birth control and Planned Parenthood are primarily neither political nor religious. This is an issue of equality for women. This is an issue of women’s rights: Planned Parenthood is the most important private provider of reproductive health care for women in the United States. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
First lady has been a thankless position. Eleanor Roosevelt was brilliant and had strong views. She was criticized for her politics and for her appearance. Mrs. Roosevelt was attacked for being too involved in politics. Bess Truman was criticized for being uninvolved in politics. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Being first lady is a full-time job. Betty Ford worked full time and should have received a salary. Michelle Obama works full time and should be paid. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
From 1961 to 1964, I was fortunate enough to work at a think tank in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. As a writer and editor, I reported in a publication about the thinkers. Our offices were in a former mansion; I worked in what had been the ballroom. As I sat typing my copy, I imagined the dancers waltzing. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Operas elucidate, in a way sometimes absent in other theatrical productions, the very human fact that in every hero, there is a thread of duplicity. In every villain, there is another side to consider: We don’t have to like him or her, but we are compelled to think about motivation. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Asked to give advice to a 13-year-old girl about how to lead her life, I say find something you love to do. The goal shouldn’t be accumulating money. It might be making changes in the world, or in your country. (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Opponents of legal birth control, including abortion, have tried for decades to play the race card, saying that legal abortion is racist. What they ignore is that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. accepted the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood in 1966 (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
During the Renaissance, women were not allowed to attend art school. Everyone asks, where are the great women painters of the Renaissance? (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
When I was in school, there was no such thing as girls athletics (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
We should cease thinking about men as the enemy of children and women (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
In the battle between the sexes, men and women will go practically to the end of the earth in illogical, irrational ways to give each other pain (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
If supporters of equality for women want to vote for the best candidate, they must look to a person regardless of gender and must disregard the gender of political opponents (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
Education, doing homework, is the way to lift up girls. Around the world, where girls are educated, the economy and the standard of living rise (Karen DeCrow Quotes)
