TO MY MOTHER, SADONIA ECKER WIESEN
a constant inspiration
Someone sent me a most amusing present of a goldfish bowl. I doubt if anyone living in the White House needs such a reminder So, if I may offer a thought in consolation to others who for a time have to live in a goldfish bowl, it is: Dont worry because people know all that you do, for the really important things about anyone are what they are and what they think and feel, and the more you live in a goldfish bowl the less people really know about you!
(My Day, 7 January 1936)
If you care for your own children, you must take an interest in all, for your children must go on living in the world made by all children.
ER to the Southern Womens Democratic Union, New York; in the New York Times, 26 February 1933
Peace time can be as exhilarating to the daredevil as wartime. There is nothing so exciting as creating a new social order.
ER in the New York Times, 29 December 1933
I think we had better begin to decide whether we wish to preserve our civilization or whether we think it of so little use that we might as well let it go. That is what war amounts to.
ER, Ways of Peace, 1936
How men hate women in a position of real power!
ER to Lorena Hickok, concerning Frances Perkins, 1937
What a nuisance hearts are, and yet without them life would hardly be worth while!
ER to Lorena Hickok, 20 February 1935
How I hate doing these things and then they say someday Ill run for an office. Well, Id have to be chloroformed first! [But if it improves these terrible] conditions even a little bit I suppose it is worth it.
ER to Lorena Hickok, February 1935
I think the day of selfishness is over; the day of really working together has come, and we must learn to work together all of us, regardless of race or creed or color. We go ahead together or we go down together.
