Text 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)
It’s a glorious universe the positive thinkers have come up with, a vast, shimmering aurora borealis in which desires mingle freely with their realizations.... Dreams go out and fulfill themselves; wishes need only to be articulated (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
War cannot be used as a means to prevent or abolish wars.... The idea of a war to prevent war is one of its oldest, and cruelest, tricks (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Warriors make wars, but it is also true that, in what has so far been an endless reproductive cycle, war makes warriors (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Ineluctably, the insults inflicted in one war call forth new wars of retaliation, which may be waged within months of the original conflict or generations later (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Considering the absence of legal coercion, the surprising thing is that men have for so long, and, on the whole, so reliably, adhered to what we might call the breadwinner ethic (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Whenever people can access deities directly without the intervention of a religious hierarchy, they don’t need to have hierarchy so much (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
What you don’t necessarily realize when you start selling your time by the hour is that what you’re really selling is your life (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
When you watch television, you never see people watching television. We love television because it brings us a world in which television does not exist (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
We need to brace ourselves for a struggle against terrifying obstacles... bot h of our own making and imposed by the natural world. And the first step is to recover from the mass delusion that is positive thinking (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
People tend to judge presidents on how the economy performs, and yet we don’t expect them to have the power to do much about it. Or we don’t want them to exercise that power, if they were to have it (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person (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)
Well I do think there are people who are habitually negative and depressed and take the opposite approach because they imagine the worst, and their minds become dominated by that. They let their own emotions and expectations transform their perceptions of the world (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
I think it’s tragic that we have this human capacity, which appears to be hardwired, or so the evolutionary biologists say, for collective joy. We have these techniques for generating it that go back thousands of years, and yet we tend not to use this (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
Well, the first thing that clued me in to the fact that there was something really scary about breast cancer, way beyond the thought of dying, was coming across an ad in the newspaper for pink breast cancer teddy bears. I am not that afraid of dying, but I am terrified of dying with a pink teddy bear under my arm (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
The internet was supposed to make this whole business of job searching rational and simple. You could post your resume and companies would search them and they’d find you. It doesn’t seem to work that way. There aren’t enough jobs for experienced, college educated managers and professionals (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
It is the marketplace that calls most clearly for men to be softer, more narcissistic and receptive, and the new man is the result (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all (Barbara Ehrenreich Quotes)
