Our great symbol for the Goddess is the moon, whose three aspects reflect the three stages in women's lives and whose cycles of waxing and waning coincide with women's menstrual cycles.

In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.

Subversive language, however, must be constantly reinvented, because it is continually being co-opted by the powerful.

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.

Why does everyone cling to the masculine imagery and pronouns even though they are a mere linguistic device that has never meant that God is male?

Beliefs and values that have held sway for thousands of years will be questioned as never before.

If we do no mean that God is male when we use masculine pronouns and imagery, then why should there be any objections to using female imagery and pronouns as well?

Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants.

The mother must socialize her daughter to become subordinate to men, and if her daughter challenges patriarchal norms, the mother is likely to defend the patriarchal structures against her own daughters.

In my book I specifically discussed the structural nature of injustice and offered Nine Touchstones of Goddess ethics as an alternative to the Ten Commandments of Biblical religion.

Women must be the spokesmen for a new humanity arising out of the reconciliation of spirit and body.

Because religion has such a compelling hold on the deep psyches of so many people, feminists cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the fathers.

The women's movement will present a growing threat to patriarchal religion less by attacking it than by simply leaving it behind.

The Goddess of Old Europe and Ancient Crete represented the unity of life in nature, delight in the diversity of form, the powers of birth, death and regeneration.

In Old Europe and Ancient Crete, women were respected for their roles in the discovery of agriculture and for inventing the arts of weaving and pottery making.

The simplest and most basic meaning of the symbol of the Goddess is the acknowledgment of the legitimacy of female power as a beneficent and independent power.

At first the ancient images of the Goddess did not interest me.

Watching birds has become part of my daily meditation affirming my connection to the earth body.

The often cruel behavior of Christians toward unbelievers and even toward dissenters among themselves is shocking evidence of the function of that image in relation to values and behavior.

After much diligent research, aided by other women, I gradually came to understand that beneath the familiar Goddesses of the patriarchy, there is a much more ancient Goddess.

The simple act of telling a woman's story from a woman's point of view is a revolutionary act: it never has been done before.

The President forgot to mention the Moon, Mars, and the federal deficit - all of which are sky-high.

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!

Moon rocks are OK when everyone is eating.

A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can't read. That's terribly troubling to me.

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.

I've written a lot of books which are written from the moon - the view from nowhere.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle; we just decided to go.

You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times... and safely home again.

The soldiers did go away and their towns were torn down; and in the Moon of Falling Leaves (November), they made a treaty with Red Cloud that said our country would be ours as long as grass should grow and water flow.

What will it profit this country if we... put our man on the Moon by 1970 and at the same time you can't walk down Woodward Avenue in this city without fear of some violence?

Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.

Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy.

I think that when NASA works on a moon shot, they know too well that all of the people working on it must do their job at 110 percent. Sometimes they probably put in 18 hour days, but they're aiming for the moon, and that's what counts.

Small samples in the centrifuge will spin at varying rates to create synthetic gravity, like the gravity of Mars or the gravity of the moon, and measure how the specimens respond within the centrifuge.

My first two records were more energetic; Phantom Moon is subtle, quiet; so these various reactions are just something I expected.

I always tell people that to be the funny person in a Steve Martin movie is like getting a call that Keith Moon wants you to play drums on his record. He should be playing drums on his record.

For the first time in history, a private company is organizing a mission to the moon. This mission will inspire countries of the world, citizens, our youth.

In New York, there are so many potholes, they're like craters on the moon. That's another traffic thing.

We knew it was going to be difficult to get to the moon. We didn't know how difficult.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Apollo 13, as you may remember, gave us a reactor that is bubbling away right now somewhere in the Pacific. It's supposed to be bubbling away on the moon, but it's in the Pacific Ocean instead.

We will build new ships to carry man forward into the universe, to gain a new foothold on the moon and to prepare for new journeys to the worlds beyond our own.
