It occurred to me that I just didn't see how I could go ahead and continue to eat meat. It just seemed so... cannibalistic to me. And so, I'm a vegetarian, and I have been ever since.

Food simply isn't important to me.

It is better, as far as getting the vote is concerned, I believe, to have a small, united group than an immense debating society.

Mr. President how long must women wait to get their liberty? Let us have the rights we deserve.

I always feel the movement is a sort of mosaic.

The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women.

There will never be a new world order until women are a part of it.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

When you put your hand to the plow, you can't put it down until you get to the end of the row.

We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.

Too many terms corrupts politicians so they only want to be reelected.

This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.

It occurred to me that I just didn't see how I could go ahead and continue to eat meat. It just seemed so... cannibalistic to me. And so, I'm a vegetarian, and I have been ever since.

I have joined the 'suffragettes' - the militant party on the woman suffrage question.

I know my father believed and my mother believed in and supported the suffrage movement, and I remember my mother taking me to suffrage meetings held in the home of a Quaker family that lived not far from us.

I read just endlessly, ceaselessly, almost every book, it seems!

I think if we get freedom for women, then they are probably going to do a lot of things that I wish they wouldn't do. But it seems to me that isn't our business to say what they should do with it. It is our business to see that they get it.

I think that American women are further along than any other women in the world. But you can't have peace in a world in which some women or some men or some nations are at different stages of development. There is so much work to be done.

I will settle down & teach for the rest of my days.

It has become impossible to forget 'votes for women,' just as it was impossible to forget the reformation of Luther.

It may be an instinct, it is with me anyway, when you're presenting something to the world, to make it as beautiful as you can.

It was a feeling of loyalty to our own sex and an enthusiasm to have every degradation that was put upon our sex removed.

The President can pardon us again... and again and again, but... picketing will continue, and sooner or later, he will have to do something about it.

The building up of a new, far-reaching system of inspection on the question of equal pay, with power to investigate every business in the United States, administered by a colossal new government agency with vast enforcement powers, would not be helpful to women, as far as I can see.

To me, it was shocking that a government of men could look with such extreme contempt on a movement that was asking nothing except such a simple little thing as the right to vote.

When you're young, when you've never done anything very much on your own, you imagine that it won't be so hard.

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

If more people would try and reach up instead of going to the lowest common denominator, I think we'd be a lot better off.

What is terrifying is the ability through mass brainwashing or propaganda to change normal human instinct which does not necessarily contain very much hatred.

I lost three times in my career. Losing to Holmes I could deal with, because I lost to a true champion.

I loved to make people laugh in high school, and then I found I loved being on stage in front of people. I'm sure that's some kind of ego trip or a way to overcome shyness. I was very kind of shy and reserved, so there's a way to be on stage and be performing and balance your life out.

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

My purpose in performing is to communicate the joy I experience in living.

I wonder if the course of narcissism through the ages would have been any different had Narcissus first peered into a cesspool. He probably did.

Women are much more than men in touch with their emotional intelligence. That explains why women read fiction books while men stick to the user manuals.

I just love math and most people don't.

You've got to be picky in this business - if you're not, then I don't think you have the option of longevity. You've got to be choosy and try and do something that's outside of the box and dangerous. I love doing stuff that excites me, gives me that adrenalin rush.

I love high heels from the age of 10! Short skirts and then high heels. My classmates used to make fun of me. Like, 'Ooh, she's so skinny and she's wearing high heels.' But I just wore what I like, and I didn't care about people's opinions, the same as I don't care now.

When you call upon a Thoroughbred, he gives you all the speed, strength of heart and sinew in him. When you call on a jackass, he kicks.

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn and that which he will have the most need to know.

We may run into many downfalls in life but with a mighty God on our side those downfalls have already been defeated.

The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

I go into it with the attitude that I'm not going to look at my leg, and as soon as they get the wrapping off of it, I'm like, 'I've got to look.' It's like yelling at a dog going, 'Squirrel!' I cannot not look. And then I spend the rest of the time sitting there with a wet washcloth on my forehead trying to regain consciousness.

The public owns the airwaves; Congress gave them to broadcasters for free, with the understanding that they would serve the public interest while trying to maximize profit. An aspect of serving the public is to use the immense power of electronic media to reflect evolving standards of respect for other people.

Some of the best projects to ever come out of Atari or Chuck E. Cheese's were from high school dropouts, college dropouts. One guy had been in jail.

Impulsive actions led to trouble, and trouble could have unpleasant consequences.

To just get in front of different kinds of audiences is important for me. I do think it's important for music to be a big family. Whether it's country or not.

I think The 'Cheetah Girls' was originally supposed to be one film, but then it became two and three, which was a huge deal. But like all Disney franchises, they have to come to an end at some point. I was so grateful we went out with a bang. I think we died off peacefully.

When I look up and see the sun shining on the patch of white clouds up in the blue, I begin to think how it would feel to be up somewhere above it winging swiftly thought the clear air, watching the earth below, and the men on it, no bigger than ants.
