Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.
    Betty Friedan (20th century)

    Why not walk in the aura of magic that gives to the small things of life their uniqueness and importance? Why not befriend a toad today?
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
