Realizing

Famous quotes containing the word realizing:

    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)

    What are all political and social institutions, but always a religion, which in realizing itself, becomes incarnate in the world?
    Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)

    Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without realizing it.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 11:44.
