Gloria Steinem — "Laughter is the only free emotion."

"There were never that many women stand-up comics in the past because the power to make people laugh is also a power that gets people upset."

"There are really not many jobs that actually require a penis or a vagina, and all other occupations should be open to everyone."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."

"Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself."
