Charlotte Perkins Gilman Quotes

To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind Picture Quote #1

At any given period in history the ideas of the common mind are found to antedate the facts. The facts of the twentieth century are approached with the ideas, feelings, prejudices of the tenth Picture Quote #1

To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse Picture Quote #1

But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter Picture Quote #1

Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning Picture Quote #1

To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world we must do something Picture Quote #1

The first duty of a human being is to assume the right functional relationship to society - more briefly, to find your real job, and do it Picture Quote #1

Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil Picture Quote #1

You think you have mastered it, but just as you get well under way in following, it turns a back somersault and there you are. It slaps you in the face, knocks you down, and tramples upon you Picture Quote #1

While we flatter ourselves that things remain the same, they are changing under our very eyes from year to year, from day to day Picture Quote #1

Through watching so much at night, when it changes so, I have finally found out. The front pattern does move - and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Picture Quote #1

A million million worlds that move in peace; A million mighty laws that never cease; and one small ant heap, hidden by small weeds, Rich with eggs, slaves and store of millet seeds. They sleep beneath the sod and trust in God Picture Quote #1

Said I, in scorn all burning hot, In rage and anger high, You ignominious idiot, Those wings are made to fly! Picture Quote #1

There are things in that paper that nobody knows but me, or ever will. Behind that outside pattern the dim shapes get clearer every day. It is always the same shape, only very numerous. And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern Picture Quote #1

There's a whining at the threshold - there's a scratching at the floor - to work! To work! In Heaven's name! The wolf is at the door! Picture Quote #1

Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or broken heart, is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one Picture Quote #1

Never in all her life had she imagined that this idolized millinery could look, to those who paid for it, like the decorations of an insane monkey Picture Quote #1

I’m sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition Picture Quote #1

It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight Picture Quote #1

When all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one Picture Quote #1

The best proof of man’s dissatisfaction with the home is found in his universal absence from it Picture Quote #1

I'm getting really fond of the room in spite of the wallpaper. Perhaps because of the wallpaper Picture Quote #1

This wallpaper has a kind of sub-pattern in a different shade, a particularly irritating one, for you can only see it in certain lights, and not clearly then Picture Quote #1

The home is the center and circumference, the start and the finish, of most of our lives Picture Quote #1

Grateful return for happiness conferred is not the method of exchange in a partnership. The comfort a man takes with his wife is not in the nature of a business partnership, nor are her frugality and industry Picture Quote #1

Let us inquire what glory there was in an omnipotent being torturing forever a puny little creature who could in no way defend himself? Would it be to the glory of a man to fry ants? Picture Quote #1

It is not for nothing that a man’s best friends sigh when he marries, especially if he is a man of genius Picture Quote #1
