I think we have to be careful about what we label as a prerequisite for spirituality. I don’t think you have to know a lot to have a spiritual life, but knowing gives life richness.  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I talk to women’s groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her.  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) When my children were born, I didn’t have them baptized because I felt baptism was about erasing Original Sin - something the Church said children got from their mother - and I absolutely refused to believe women carry Original Sin.  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) My husband is a fall-away Catholic, but with a vengeance. He’s actually more of a feminist than I am  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) God is not something I think about but something I experience as an energy, a Presence. I do find it easier to pray to a female Presence or an androgynous Presence  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) You don’t stay married for thirty-nine years because of sex or even because of love, but because your partner is a real friend to you, because they respect and regard you  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) What you don’t know about women is alot  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) Follow your heart, your instincts. People might try to dissuade you from your passion, but no one can live your life but you  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I think we’re socialized out of being women, and then we have to find our way back to it. That’s hard to do  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I think it’s because most of us talk one way and live another. There are a few people who truly, truly walk the talk  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I feel it most in my work, because there aren’t roles about women who are spiritually evolving. That anyone would even write something like that, something that’s worth doing, would be a miracle!  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) Well, you know what they say: if you don’t have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) Thankfully, it became clear to me that when I compete, I lose my connection to the passion I have for my work  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) So I constantly play women who are damaged and out of touch, who are seeking without knowing, or knowing without the skills to transform their lives. But then, that’s really the fate of many women today  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) Most of us are not real eager to grow, myself included. We try to be happy by staying in the status quo. But if we’re not willing to be honest with ourselves about what we feel, we don’t evolve  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I think we have to be careful about what we label as a prerequisite for spirituality. I don’t think you have to know a lot to have a spiritual life, but knowing gives life richness  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I talk to women’s groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes) I sometimes truly despair at ever being meaningfully altered and affected by the things I claim are so important to me  (Olympia Dukakis Quotes)
