We all have a grain of god in us. We do get opportunities to realize it, when moments in life demand selfless deeds of compassion from us. But we often squander them. ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
For me, to be a feminist is to answer the question 'Are women human?' with a yes. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
They can't push women all the way back, but they can use women's bodies to keep them under surveillance and control. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
Why must the woman apologize for not having a baby just because she happened to get pregnant? It's as if we think motherhood is the default setting for a woman's life from first period to menopause, and she needs a note from God not to say yes to every zygote that knocks on her door. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
In the months to come, I would look back on this time in my life almost as a kind of out-of-body travel, from which I had returned with nothing but a sense memory of having been somewhere inexpressibly exciting and far away. It wasn't like a dream, exactly, although it had a dream's strange internal logic. It was like looking through the window of an airplane at night, the way the city below appears so near, yet untouchable beyond the glass--a network of lights, flames, stars. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
We need to say that women have sex, have abortions, are at peace with the decision and move on with their lives. We need to say that is their right, and, moreover, it's good for everyone that they have this right: The whole society benefits when motherhood is voluntary. When we gloss over these truths we unintentionally promote the very stigma we're trying to combat. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
I wonder if my mother knew that her own grandmother died of an abortion after bearing nine children, back in Russia, during the First World War, or if her mother kept that family secret from her as she kept her secret from me. Women's lives are different now - so much so we're in danger of forgetting how they used to be. Legalizing abortion didn't just save women from death and injury and fear of arrest, it didn't just make it possible for women to commit to education and work and free them from shotgun marriages and too many kids. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
Failure is a great teacher; but never insist on hiring one for yourself. Learn vicariously from others' teachers. ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
Katha Pollitt wrote in The Nation, "Ron Paul has opposed almost every piece of progressive legislation that was passed in the last 200 years! He opposed Federal Deposit Insurance and continues to oppose Roe v. Wade. He would abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, governmental regulations on health and safety (OSHA), and the Federal Aviation Authority. ~ Georgia Kelly
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Georgia Kelly
When you consider that God could have commanded anything he wanted
anything!
the Ten [Commandments] have got to rank as one of the great missed moral opportunities of all time. How different history would have been had he clearly and unmistakably forbidden war, tyranny, taking over other people's countries, slavery, exploitation of workers, cruelty to children, wife-beating, stoning, treating women
or anyone
as chattel or inferior beings. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
How can one fall in love? For me, love can only be uplifting ... ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
It's one thing for a rape victim to speak up, or a woman with a wanted pregnancy that has turned into a medical catastrophe. But why can't a woman just say, This wasn't the right time for me? Or two children (or one, or none) are enough? Why must the woman apologize for not having a baby just because she happened to get pregnant? It's as if we think motherhood is the default setting for a woman's life from first period to menopause, ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
When one chants the Holy Names, listens to Krishna katha or just meditates on Krishna's form, one's body feels wellbeing, one's mind becomes tranquil, one beholds beauty in the sky, nature, people, animals, insects - in everything. Vāsudeva sarvam iti, everything is Krishna. One feels the cooling touch of the breeze. One feels the golden warmth of the setting sun. In an orb of happiness, one reposes oneself at the lotus feet of the Lord like a honey bee. ~ Anil B. Sarkar
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Anil B. Sarkar
Actually, abortion is part of being a mother and of caring for children, because part of caring for children is knowing when it's not a good idea to bring them into the world. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
Perfecting is a journey ... There is no destination called perfection. ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
Nobody asks about Beethoven's mother's own life - a fairly miserable round of pregnancy, childbirth, and child death. Was Maria Magdalena Keverich van Beethoven put on earth only to produce her wunderkind? Might she have had gifts of her own that she never got to offer the world? ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
As [The Nation columnist Katha] Pollitt points out, when one starts looking beneath the surface of things and adding together the out-front atheists with the indifferent nonbelievers, you end up with a much larger group of people than Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Unitarians put together. ~ Natalie Angier
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Natalie Angier
I'm a writer; I can float for hours on a word like "amethyst" or "broom" or the way so many words sound like what they are: "earth" so firm and basic, "air" so light, like a breath. You can't imagine them the other way around: She plunged her hands into the rich brown air. Sometimes I think I would like to be a word - not a big important word, like "love" or "truth," just a small ordinary word, like "orange" or "inkstain" or "so," a word that people use so often and so unthinkingly that its specialness has all been worn away, like the roughness on a pebble in a creek bed, but that has a solid heft when you pick it up, and if you hold it to the light at just the right angle you can glimpse the spark at its core. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
A feminist is a person who answers 'yes' to the question 'Are women human?' Feminism is not about whether women are better than, worse than or identical with men ... It's about justice, fairness, and access to the broad range of human experience. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
One of the very important ideas of feminism for me has always been women helping and supporting each other. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
the late 1940s, hospitals in many states set up abortion committees to which a woman seeking to terminate her pregnancy could appeal.9 It was a humiliating process, which could involve multiple physical examinations and interrogations by unsympathetic doctors. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
My daughter, who goes to Stuyvesant High School only blocks from the World Trade Center, thinks we should fly an American flag out our window. Definitely not, I say: The flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
There's a reason they call childbirth labor. Making a healthy baby takes effort: It requires foresight and self-denial and courage. It's expensive and demanding and tiring. You have to learn new things, change many habits, possibly deal with complicated medical situations, make difficult decisions, and undergo stressful ordeals. I had a wisdom tooth pulled without Novocaine while I was pregnant - it hurt a lot and seemed to go on forever. The kindness of the very young dental assistant, holding back my hair as I spat blood into a bowl, will stay with me for the rest of my life. Pregnant women do such things, and much harder things, all the time. For example, they give birth, which is somewhere on the scale between painful and excruciating. Or they have a cesarean, as I did, which is major surgery. None of this is without risk of death or damage or trauma, including psychological trauma. To force girls and women to undergo all this against their will is to annihilate their humanity. When they undertake it by choice, we should all be grateful. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
Pregnancy and childbirth are not only physical and medical experiences, after all. They are also social experiences that, in modern America, just as when abortion was criminalized in the 1870s, serve to restrict women's ability to participate in society on equal footing with men. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
No job is complete until the selfie is posted. ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
Those wise ones who see that the consciousness within them is the same consciousness within all beings, attain peace. -THE KATHA UPANISHAD ~ Gabrielle Orr
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Gabrielle Orr
War has no winners and peace, no losers ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
On the whole 'blasphemy' has been a force for good in human history. It is part of the process by which millions of people have come to reject theocracy and think for themselves. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
But now, with clinics disappearing, more and more women will have no choice but to turn to pills, as women do in Ireland and other countries where it is illegal for a woman to end a pregnancy. Some will end up in emergency rooms. Some will be injured. Some may die. This is what laws supposedly intended to protect women from "dangerous" clinics will have accomplished. This is what the so-called pro-life movement will have done for "life. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
As Katha Pollitt puts it: US invasions have made the work of Muslim feminists much more difficult. The last thing they need is for women's rights to be branded as the tool of the invaders and occupiers and cultural imperialists.11 ~ Nina Power
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Nina Power
The extraordinary deference paid to physicians and their judgment preserved the idea that the woman's desire to end a pregnancy was not enough in itself, it had to be approved by a respectable authority figure, at the time almost always a man. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
Success - is not about defeating others; but about defeating oneself ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
Failure is success in abeyance; but only for those who persevere. ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
don't think women have the right to a self. They are supposed to live for others. Qualities that are seen as normal and desirable in men - ambition, confidence, outspokenness - are perceived as selfish and aggressive in women, especially when they have children. ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
Right now religion has the romantic aura of the forbidden - Christ is cool. We need to bring it into the schools, which kids already hate, and associate it firmly with boredom, regulation, condescension, makework and de facto segregation ... Prayer in the schools will rid us of the bland no-offense ecumenism that is so infuriating to us anticlericals: Oh, so now you say Jews didn't kill Christ - a little on the late side, isn't it? ~ Katha Pollitt
Curiosity Killls The Katha quotes by Katha Pollitt
As Stephen Jay Gould pointed out in Time, in no other Western country is the teaching of Evolution regarded as controversial. Throughout the world, one way or another, most Christian denominations have managed to reconcile belief in God with belief in the mechanisms of natural selection. A French or German or Scandinavian politician who called for students to entertain as a reasonable deduction from existing evidence the proposition that Earth is at most 10,000 years old would be bundled off to a mental hospital. ~ Katha Pollitt
