Famous quotes containing the words implicit, self-esteem:
“A piece of advice always contains an implicit threat, just as a threat always contains an implicit piece of advice.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“What stunned me was the regular assertion that feminists were “anti-family.” . . . It was motherhood that got me into the movement in the first place. I became an activist after recognizing how excruciatingly personal the political was to me and my sons. It was the women’s movement that put self-esteem back into “just a housewife,” rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of “instinct” and making it human, deliberate, powerful.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
