I don't like writing. I like having written.

Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.

A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.

An education is not a thing one gets, but a lifelong process.

I think it's important to see the parallels, and to understand that our masculine and feminine roles are relatively new in human history. Both gender and race are inventions that go deep because we have been raised with them, but they are still inventions.

The first problem for all of us, men and woman, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions imbedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

Writing is always harder than talking.
