Us Quotes

It was a fine cry, loud and long, but it had no bottom and it had no top, just circles and circles of sorrow Picture Quote #1

And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity Picture Quote #1

At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right Picture Quote #1

Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. When it isn't, don't call it destiny; call it injustice, treachery, or simple bad luck Picture Quote #1

Frankly, I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry Picture Quote #1

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them Picture Quote #1

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family Picture Quote #1

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government Picture Quote #1

Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy; indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile Picture Quote #1

There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you Picture Quote #1

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job Picture Quote #1

By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration Picture Quote #1

Before feminism, work was largely defined as what men did or would do. Thus, a working woman was someone who labored outside the home for money, masculine-style Picture Quote #1

Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described - and will be, after our deaths - by each of the family members who believe they know us Picture Quote #1

Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood Picture Quote #1

Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it Picture Quote #1

Battered women is a phrase that uncovered major, long-hidden violence. It helps us to face the fact that, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, not in the streets Picture Quote #1

As wise women and men in every culture tell us: The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us Picture Quote #1

Women can be vivacious. We are allowed more varieties of facial expression and gestures. Men must be rocklike Picture Quote #1

Obviously, untangling sex from aggression and violence or the threat of it is going to take a very long time. And the process is going to be greatly resisted as a challenge to the very heart of male dominance and male centrality Picture Quote #1

I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it Picture Quote #1

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings Picture Quote #1

Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other Picture Quote #1

No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them Picture Quote #1

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest Picture Quote #1

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented Picture Quote #1

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. The Talmud tells us that by saving a single human being, man can save the world Picture Quote #1

Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future Picture Quote #1

Father raised his glass one last time and we repeated after him: Next year in Jerusalem. None of us could know that this was our last Passover meal as a family Picture Quote #1

[Smart] is an elusive concept. There's a certain sharpness, an ability to absorb new facts. To ask an insightful question. To relate to domains that may not seem connected at first. A certain creativity that allows people to be effective Picture Quote #1
