Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described – and will be, after our deaths – by each of the family members who believe they know us. – Gloria Steinem
Its an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems dont try to make it posthumous. – Gloria Steinem
Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form. – Gloria Steinem
America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people. – Gloria Steinem
Even though I have a nice house, nice family, the rest of my generation is still in South Central L.A. My cousins, my brothers, my sisters, they dont wanna move out. They dont want to and they dont have the means to sustain it. Thats where my heart is and thats what I think about all the time. – Ice Cube
From very early on in my childhood – four, five years old – I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet, because I felt disconnected – I was very tall and skinny, and I didnt look like anybody else, I didnt even look like any member of my family. – Patti Smith
