Random Quote"A true priest is aware of the presence of the altar during every moment that he is conducting a service. It is exactly the same way that a true artist should react to the stage all the time he is in the theater. An actor who is incapable of this feeling will never be a true artist."
Konstantin Stanislavisky

Betty Friedan Quotes

A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man's advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.
Betty Friedan

Betty Friedan

Betty Friedan

It is easier to live through someone else than to become complete yourself.
Betty Friedan

Betty Friedan

Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework - an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Betty Friedan

The feminine mystique has succeeded in burying millions of American women alive.
Betty Friedan

When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity she finally began to enjoy being a woman.
Betty Friedan
