The woman movement is one which is uniting by co-operating influences, all the antagonisms that are warring on the family state. S...piritualism, free love, free divorce, the vicious indulgences consequent on unregulated civilization, the worldliness which tempts men and women to avoid large families, often by sinful methods, thus making the ignorant masses the chief supply of the future ruling majorities; and most powerful of all, the feeble constitution and poor health of women, causing them to dread maternity as--what it is fast becoming--an accumulation of mental and bodily tortures.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces ...operating through human consciousness control events.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is a popular superstition that "realism" asserts itself in the cataloguing of a great number of material objects, in explain...ing mechanical processes, the methods of operating manufactories and trades, and in minutely and unsparingly describing physical sensations. But is not realism, more than it is anything else, an attitude of mind on the part of the writer toward his material, a vague indication of the sympathy and candour with which he accepts, rather than chooses, his theme?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
... the modern drama, operating through the double channel of dramatist and interpreter, affecting as it does both mind and heart,... is the strongest force in developing social discontent, swelling the powerful tide of unrest that sweeps onward and over the dam of ignorance, prejudice, and superstition.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do ...it--and do it well. The truth is, effective parenting requires study and practice like any other skilled profession. Who would even consider turning an untrained surgeon loose in an operating room? Yet we "operate" on our children every day.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

A government deriving its energy from the will of the society, and operating, by the reason of its measures, on the understanding ...and interest of the society ... is the government for which philosophy has been searching and humanity been fighting from the most remote ages ... which it is the glory of America to have invented, and her unrivalled happiness to possess.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I love meetings with suits. I live for meetings with suits. I love them because I know they had a really boring week and I walk in... there with my orange velvet leggings and drop popcorn in my cleavage and then fish it out and eat it. I like that. I know I'm entertaining them and I know that they know. Obviously, the best meetings are with suits that are intelligent, because then things are operating on a whole other level.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact th...at it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in ev...ery army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
