A Quote by Carolyn Heilbrun

Today's youth seem finally to have understood that only by freeing woman from her exclusively sexual role can man free himself from his ordained role in the rat-race: that of the rat.
People sometimes forget that a rat race can be won only by a rat.
Only a rat can win a rat race.
It is one thing to decry the rat race...that is the good and honorable work of moralists. It is quite another thing to quit the rat race, to drop out, to refuse to run any further--that is the work of the individualist. It is offensive because it is impolite it makes the rebuke personal the individualist calls not his or her behavior into question, but mine.
The great disadvantage of being in a rat race is that it is humiliating. The competitors in a rat race are by definition rodents.
It may be that you will be happiest in the rat race; perhaps, like me, you are basically a rat.
The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.
Just because it's a rat race doesn't mean it's okay to be a rat.
Everybody in America is so money-hungry. It's like a rat race and even when you win you're still a freaking rat.
People say never work with children and animals. I actually like working with Oliver Bell, and working with a rat really opens possibilities to you because you don't know how it's going to be. It's just a rat, so you can just react to this rat being a rat, if that makes sense.
Don't ever forget the words on a postcard that my father sent me last year: "If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
I like the biblical way of being in a relationship which is head shipment, I'm not saying that a man should run over a woman, but a man should have his role and a woman have her role.
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
The rat race is real. I was part of the rat race.
What about the rat race in the first place? Is it worthwhile? Or are you just buying into someone else's definition of success? Only you can decide that, and you'll have to decide it over and over and over. But if you think it's a rat race, before you drop out, take a deep breath. Maybe you picked the wrong job. Try again. And then try again.
A lot of people live with no apparent means of support. I kind of envy the musicians up there. You're down here, busting your ass in Hollywood, and it's like Lily Tomlin's joke about the rat race - all you prove in the end is that you're a rat.
Besides, thinking kind thoughts about Valek could be extremely dangerous. I could admire his skills, and be relieved when he was on my side in a fight. But for a rat to like the cat? That scenario ended only one way. With one dead rat.
