| Charlotte Perkins Gilman
... while we flatter ourselves that things remain the same, they are changing under our very eyes from year to year, from day to day...whosoever, man or woman, lives always in a small, dark place, is
always guarded, protected, directed and restrained, [and] will become
inevitably narrowed and weakened by it.
But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter.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.Each generation of young people should be to the world like a vast
reserve force to a tired army. They should lift the world forward. That
is what they are for.Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.Habits of thought persist through the centuries; and while a healthy brain may reject the doctrine it no longer believes, it will continue to feel the same sentiments formerly associated with that doctrine.However, one cannot put a quart in a pint cup.In New York City, everyone is an exile, none more so than the Americans.Said the little Eohippus,
"I am going to be a horse,
And on my middle fingernails
To run my earthly course!
. . . .
I'm going to have a flowing tail!
I'm going to have a mane!
I'm going to stand fourteen hands high
On the Psychozoic plain!"
The child learns more of the virtues needed in modern life-of fairness, of justice, of comradeship, of collective interest and action-in a common school than can be taught in the most perfect family circle.
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.The people people have for friends You common sense appall But the people people marry Are the queerest folk of all.There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. Might as well speak of a female liver. There was a time when Patience ceased to be a virtue. It was long ago.To swallow and follow, whether old doctrine or new propaganda, is a weakness still dominating the human mind. |
