Patriarchal Church

Famous quotes containing the words patriarchal and/or church:

“Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

“It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
