Even the most independent and spirited young women can become humorless, self-absorbed, and fearful. It's a terrible preparation for life.

We must have moral education in the schools, anti-bullying programs, but this does not mean programs to feminize boys.

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

I'm concerned that boys have become politically incorrect, that we are a society in the process of turning against its male children.

Toy companies aren't interested in ideology, they want to sell toys. If they would sell a toy that both boys and girls would buy, it doubles profits.

Women are not children. We are not fragile little birds who can't cope with jokes, works of art, or controversial speakers.

I think the fallacy is to think that Women's Liberation meant that men and women would become interchangeable. That has not happened, and most men and women would not want it to happen.

Boy's natural play is rough and tumble play, it's the universal play of little boys. And it's very different from aggression. And we are a society that's failing to understand the distinction.

A fair and just society offers equality of opportunity to all. But it cannot promise, and should not try to enforce, sameness.

Trigger warnings and safe spaces are an infantilizing setback for feminism - and for women.

It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.

If one knew the truth how could there be freedom? If hell and paradise were in the middle of the marketplace, everyone would be a saint.

I have a second chance on life.

Many foxes grow gray but few grow good.

The extension of life beyond Earth is the most important thing we can do as a species.

I was going round the world searching for an interesting place, when I realized that the place that I was in was already interesting.

Let the mind be enlarged... to the grandeur of the mysteries, and not the mysteries contracted to the narrowness of the mind

Everything in our foreign and domestic policy is a question of issue for the American people to vote on.

What we feel is beyond words. We should be ashamed of our poems.

I will do anything, Nerissa, ere I'll be married to a sponge.

My paintings are only the ashes of my art
