A Quote by Mary Blakely

We are expected, somehow, not to offend anyone on our way to liberation. There's an absurd expectation that the women's movement must be the first revolution in history to accomplish its goals without hurting anyone's feelings.

If we are to achieve long-range goals, we must learn to set up and accomplish short-range goals that will move us along the way. If we do not consciously select our goals, we may be controlled by goals not of our own choosing - goals imposed by outside pressures (such as the expectations of others) or by our habits (such as procrastination) or by our desire for the approval of the world.

Ezra Taft Benson

Meditation is a way to be narcissistic without hurting anyone

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

The struggle for the aim of the liberation of women is the child of fire born on the lap of our liberation movement.

Velupillai Prabhakaran

In Hollywood, they don't care about hurting anyone's feelings.

David Eigenberg

All things must be examined, debated, investigated without exception and without regard for anyone's feelings.

Denis Diderot

There is no way that anyone who - besides the folks that want to plain ignore facts - there's no way that anyone can say that by building that wall we are not going to accomplish a more secure border. It's just proven. We can do this.

Matt Rosendale

For within livin structures defined by profit, by linear power, by institutional dehumanization, our feelings were not meant to survive. Kept around as unavoidable adjuncts or pleasant pastimes, our feelings were expected to kneel to thought as women were expected to kneel to men. But women have survived. As poets.

Audre Lorde

I don't offend anyone, I don't use anyone, I don't exploit anyone.

Maria Teresa Horta

For anyone who right now is hurting, for anyone who feels beneath a baseline, feels so isolated and lonely, know that you are not alone. First and foremost, you have a God that is going to sit closer than a brother.

Paula White

Women must see that there can be no liberation for them and no solution to the ecological crisis within a society whose fundamental model of relationships continues to be one of domination. They must unite the demands of the women's movement with those of the ecological movement to envision a radical reshaping of the basic socioeconomic relations and the underlying values of this [modern industrial] society.

Rosemary Radford Ruether

All things must be examined, debated, investigated without exception and without regard for anyone's feelings... We must run roughshod over all these ancient puerilities, overturn the barriers that reason never erected, give back to the arts and sciences the liberty that is so precious to them.

Denis Diderot

Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women

Thomas Sankara

The revolution and women's liberation go together. We do not talk of women's emancipation as an act of charity or out of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the revolution to triumph. Women hold up the other half of the sky.

Thomas Sankara

Do not let anyone get away with the argument that tearing our country out of one of the most successful partnerships in our history is somehow a great act of patriotism. It is not.

Betty Boothroyd

If you are harboring the slightest bitterness toward anyone, or any unkind thoughts of any sort whatever, you must get rid of them quickly. They are not hurting anyone but you. It isn't enough just to do right things and say right things - you must also think right things before your life can come into harmony.
