Later, when Tina Fey was head writer and star of Saturday Night Live, she could still say, “Only in comedy does an obedient white girl from the suburbs count as diversity.”

Quote by -Gloria Steinem

Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“I had wanted to escape my traveling childhood, yet I was traveling and making the discovery that ordinary people are smart, smart people are ordinary, decisions are best made by the people affected by them, and human beings have an almost infinite capacity for adapting to the expectations around us - which is both the good and the bad news”

Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The one thing which we seek with insatiable desire is to forget ourselves, to be surprised out of our propriety, to lose our sempiternal memory and to do something without knowing how or why; in short to draw a new circle.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun.

Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
I chide society, I embrace solitude, and yet I am not so ungrateful as not to see the wise, the lovely and the noble-minded, as from time to time they pass my gate.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are reformers in spring and summer; in autumn and winter, we stand by the old; reformers in the morning, conservers at night.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.

To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
