“Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I.”

The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock.

You are not here accidentally – you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.

Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.

No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back.

Domination is a sort of hatred, anger, enmity.

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.

The way of love is the way of no-expectation. Love exists only when there is a total acceptance and no desire to change anything.

Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.

Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.

Wherever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find death hiding somewhere behind. All fear is of death. Death is the only fear source.

What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.

To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.

Without freedom you can never be happy.

When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.

Without freedom you can never be happy.

Either they are all wrong, or none of them are wrong.

If you have a dog, I must have a dog. If you have a rifle, I must have a rifle. If you have a club, I must have a club. This is equality.

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong.

The day may be approaching when the whole world will recognize woman as the equal of man.

Feminism is equality: politically; culturally; socially; economically. That’s it, that simple.

Every constitution written since the end of World War II includes a provision that men and women are citizens of equal stature. Ours does not.

If you believe in equality, you’re a feminist. Sorry to tell you.

I didn’t change the Constitution; the equality principle was there from the start. I just was an advocate for seeing its full realization.
