The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us

The old languages - at least the ones I know - don't have gender. They don't have gendered pronouns. There's no "he" and "she." A human being is a human being.

Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.

... if young women have a problem, it's only that they think there's no problem.

Anyone who has ever experienced dehumanized life on welfare or any other confidence-shaking dependency knows that a paid job may be preferable to the dole, even when the handout is coming from a family member.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.
