Most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority. A majority of the people in the South once believed in black slavery. Did that make it moral? A lynch mob is majority rule stripped of its fancy trappings and its facade of respectability. In a community where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals, should the majority have the right to outlaw sex between married partners of the opposite sex? In a community where atheists outnumber non- atheists, should the majority have the right to outlaw the practice of religion? ... a dictatorship allows only a small number of people to interfere with the rights of others, a democracy makes it possible for great numbers of people to impose their will on others -- through the force of government. Is an act of aggression more right if carried out by the majority than by a dictator? Since approximately half the eligible voters vote this means that approximately 75% of the people are ruled by 25% of the people.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20880/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20880/ <![CDATA[Although every organized patriarchal religion works overtime to contribute its own brand of misogyny to the myth of woman-hate, woman-fear, and woman-evil, the Roman Catholic Church also carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion, and by its use of skillful and wealthy lobbies to prevent legislative change. It is an obscenity -- an all-male hierarchy, celibate or not, that presumes to rule on the lives and bodies of millions of women.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/5361/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/5361/ <![CDATA[You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/33901/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/33901/ <![CDATA[To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/33896/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/33896/ <![CDATA[When I do good, I feel good.

It is our element. We live in it, we inhale it, we exhale it, and most of the time we do not even notice it. Instead of I am afraid, we say, I don't want to, or I don't know how, or I can't.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/14746/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/14746/ <![CDATA[Women's fashion is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/14475/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/14475/ <![CDATA[Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw.
