Text Quotes
At best the family teaches the finest things human beings can learn from one another generosity and love. But it is also, all too often, where we learn nasty things like hate, rage and shame  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all around hell raising remain the true duty of patriots  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Upscale young men seem to go for the kind of woman who plays with a full deck of credit cards  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) It’s even occurred to me, as a teeny little subversive whisper of a thought, that if we stop mowing the lawn right now, it will probably be a long, long time before the yard gets overrun by lions and snakes  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) The fact is that heterosexual sex for most people is in no way free of the power relations between men and women  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Labor is like motherhood to most of our political leaders: a calling so fine and noble that it would be sullied by talk of vulgar, mundane things like pay  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Like many other women, I could not understand why every man who changed a diaper has felt impelled, in recent years, to write a book about it  (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) Individually the poor are not too tempting to thieves, for obvious reasons. Mug a banker and you might score a wallet containing a month’s rent. Mug a janitor and you will be lucky to get away with bus fare to flee the crime scene  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) There is a vast difference between positive thinking and existential courage  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) To live in poverty is to live with constant uncertainty, to accept galling indignities, and to expect harassment by the police, welfare officials and employers, as well as by others who are poor and desperate  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) We need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate and subvert them  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) The failure to think positively can weigh on a cancer patient like a second disease  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Poverty is not a character failing or a lack of motivation. Poverty is a shortage of money  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Every time a bank swoops down to snatch up a home, it should be met with a crowd of jeering, obstructive neighbors. And although this may be point 4.5, how about organizing a mass refusal to pay back student loans?  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) No one should be incarcerated for debt or squeezed for money they have no chance of getting their hands on  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) We love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist  (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) Yes. I think the anti Walmart is Costco, which pays much better and has much better health benefits and which is profitable and offers low prices  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Experimental science is fascinating, but I don't want to do it. I want other people to do it, and I'll read about it  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) If you can attribute your success entirely to your own mental effort, to your own attitude, to some spiritual essence that you have that is better than other people's, then that must feel pretty good  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Personally, I can't see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) So even though I consider myself a fairly upbeat person, energetic and things like that, I never do very well on happiness tests  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) That's free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing - the truly democratic thing about it - is that you don't even have to be a player to lose  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) If you search the bible, you will find no reference to birth control or gay marriage, and you will not find a word, strangely, about stem cell research. I have searched  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes) Some people make stuff; other people have to buy it. And when we gave up making stuff, starting in the 1980s, we were left with the unique role of buying.... we shopped till we dropped, all right, face down on the floor  (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
