I haven’t read enough of the Bible. You know, I’m saving the Bible for if I ever get imprisoned, and the only reading material was the Bible. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
There’s a lot of cruelty going on all the time, and I’m not just talking about inter-human cruelty. I’m talking about whole species becoming extinct, asteroids hitting planets, black holes gobbling up stars. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
A research group found that 56 percent of major companies surveyed in the late 80s agreed that ‘employees who are loyal to the company and further its business goals deserve an assurance of continued employment.’ A decade later, only 6 percent agreed. It was in the 90s that companies started weeding people out as a form of cost reduction. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
The secret of the truly successful ... is that they learned early in life how not to be busy. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
I would never call myself a cancer survivor because I think it devalues those who do not survive. There’s this whole mythology that people bravely battle their cancer and then they become survivors. Well, the ones who don’t survive may be just as brave, you know, just as courageous, wonderful people. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
We - we spend a lot of time, scholarly time, thinking about love and sex, but very little about the - the kind of joy that can take over a crowd of people or a group of people, in festivity, in ecstatic ritual of some kind, in celebration. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And that’s really manual labor. I mean, experimental science, you do it with your hands. So it’s very different. You’re out there in a lab, cleaning test tubes, and it just wasn’t that fascinating. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
I went into science, ending up with a Ph.D. in cell biology, but along the way I found out that experimental science involves many hours and days and nights of laboratory work, which is a lot like washing dishes, only a little more challenging. I was too impatient, and maybe a little too sloppy, for it. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs though, it’s intimate and psychological, a mystery resist to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
When our children are old enough, and if we can afford to, we send them to college, where ... the point is to acquire the skills not of positive thinking but of critical thinking ... (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Given the cultural barriers to intersex conversation, the amazing thing is that we would even expect women and men to have anything to say to each other for more than ten minutes at a stretch. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
I’ve spent so many years talking about poverty and economic justice, I’m strongly tempted to get biblical. Jesus’ teachings are so radical; they’re just insanely generous and apocalyptic. Christians become more fascinated by the dead Jesus. They don’t like the living Jesus. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women’s liberation... none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
The religions that fascinate me and, you know, could possibly tempt me are not the ones that involve faith or belief. They’re the ones that offer you the opportunity to know the spirit or deity. (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
