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.

I am not a prophet in any sense of the word, and I entertain an active and intense dislike of the foregoing mixture of optimism, fatalism, and conservatism.

The Fred Astaire movies made a huge impression on me.

It isn't always hard work that does the job.

I saw a lot of people have success handed to them that then exploited it. They didn't protect it or cherish it.

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

The greatest moral failing is to condemn something as a moral failing: no vice is worse than being judgmental.

It is the purpose of the majority of the Immigration Committee to encourage assimilation, yet this bill has already done more than anything I know of to bring about discord among our resident aliens.

Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.

I like simple food, seasoned with just salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. Complicated food and complicated lives are never good.

It's funny, because I'm a man of strong opinions and when I make one, I stand by it even if it starts to appear incorrect to me after a while.

We all have roles in life. I'm a dad, a husband, this and that, but basically I only feel justified in being alive when I'm on the stage.

I grew up in a very small country town in Victoria. I had a very normal, low-key kind of upbringing. I went to school, I hung out with my friends, I fought with my younger sisters. It was all very normal.

And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

If you are against yourself, you will never reach your highest potential. And when you criticize yourself, you're criticizing God.

The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.

Become faithful to yourself if you do it will come natural towards everyone else.

So one of the things that happened with integration in the South is they found that the black teachers were much more educated than the white teachers.

Peace is liberty in tranquility.

So if one, or two, or a handful of guys sells drugs for their own personal gain and profit who just so happens to be a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, we want that same consideration.

My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see.

Trade is a communication of cultures and values.

Fish always stink from the head down

From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.
