I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

Beautiful Smart Stupid

More From Liz Phair

The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. the human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.

Learn all you can, don't be lazy. nothing's worse than being stupid. being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. and what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. nothing's much worse than that. unless you're sick. sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

The modern challenge to motherhood is the eternal challenge--that of being a godly woman. the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. we never hear it now. we hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. but so seldom to we hear of a godly woman--or of a godly man either, for that matter. i believe women come nearer to fulfilling their god-given function in the home than anywhere else.

For its part, government will listen. we will strive to listen in new ways - to the voices of quiet anguish, to voices that speak without words, the voices of the heart, to the injured voices, and the anxious voices, and the voices that have despaired of being heard.

Fat is a barrier, a bellicose statement to others that, to some, justifies hostility in kind. the world says to the fat person, "your fatness is an affront to me, so we have the right to treat you as offensively as you appear." fat is not merely viewed as another type of tissue, but as a diagnostic sign, a personal statement, and a measure of personality. too little fat and we see you as being antisocial, fearful and sexless. too much fat and we see you as slothful, stupid, and sexually hung up.

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

Similar Quotes

My great longing is to make those very incorrectnesses, those deviations, remodellings, changes in reality, so that they may become, yes, lies if you like - but truer than the literal truth.

I always felt, and i still feel, that the media doesn't belong in a public official's private life. it's a very difficult balance, because if you are elected to public office, people have a right to know a great deal about you, and the press has an absolute obligation to report all of that. but the reality is that there are times in which the reporting is really happening for almost voyeuristic reasons, in the gossip columns. maybe half of it is wrong, and half of it is correct, and a lot of it is exaggerated. you've just got to get used to that if you're in public life.

He that dies before sixty, of a cold or consumption, dies, in reality, by a violent death.

Oh! joy for he who has escaped from this world of perfumes and color! for beyond these colors and these perfumes, these are other colors in the heart and the soul.
