“In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.”

Intelligence without character is a dangerous thing.

Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.

Inner space is the real frontier.

The art of being helpful is behaving as if everything we do matters – because we never know which things might.

A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.

It’s not that women are less corruptible than men are, it’s that women have had less chance to become corrupt.

There are two types of people in the world, those who say ‘there are two types of people in the world’ and those who don’t.

One day an army of gray-haired women may quietly take over the Earth!

If the shoe doesn’t fit, must we change the foot?

I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion.

I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.

Battered women is a phrase that uncovered major, long-hidden violence. It helps us to face the fact that, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place for a woman is in her own home, not in the streets.

If men menstruated, they would brag about how much and for how long.

No one can give us power. If we aren’t part of the process of taking it, we won’t be strong enough to use it.

If you can learn to like how you look, and not the way you think you look, it can set you free.

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

Evolution and creationism both require faith. It’s just a matter of where you choose to place that faith.

Sexual self-restraint is only a preliminary stage in the ego’s evolution.

For the human species to evolve, the conversation must deepen.

We – mankind – stand at the center of an evolutionary crisis, with a new evolutionary device – our consciousness of the crisis – as our unique contribution.

The ultimate purpose of religious life is to make this evolution move in a direction far more important to the destiny of the ego than the moral health of the social fabric which forms his present environment.

A Religion of Evolution: that, when all is said and done, is what Man needs ever more explicitly if he is to survive and ‘superlive,’ as soon as he becomes conscious of his power to ultra-hominize himself and of his duty to do so.

I tend to believe that religious dogma is a consequence of evolution.

Everywhere on Earth, at this moment, in the new spiritual atmosphere created by the appearance of the idea of evolution, there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in the world: the two essential components of the Ultra-human.
