Strictly speaking, no person ...

Strictly speaking, no person who believes that wars between classes and nations are inevitable is fit to be in charge of the destiny of children. To believe in the unity of the human race and get children to believe it in early youth would mean the creation of that unity and the end of war.

Feminists have emphasized for...

Feminists have emphasized for a long time the importance of each woman's individual entity and the necessity of economic independence. Perhaps it was necessary. But now I think we need some emphasis on the instinctive side of life, sex and motherhood.... Life isn't all earning your living. Unfortunately we fall in love and Feminism must take that into consideration.

We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction.

Dora Russell 35 quotes

We want better reasons for ha...

We want better reasons for having children than not knowing how to prevent them. Nor should we represent motherhood as something so common and easy that everyone can go through it without harm or suffering and rear her children competently and well.

Comfort is bought at too high a price.

Because men have so long rule...

Because men have so long ruled the world, it does not follow that the philosophy by which they have ruled it is the correct one.

Dora Russell 35 quotes

The origin of the stupid idea...

The origin of the stupid ideal of womanhood against which men as well as women to-day are still fighting was the asceticism of the Christian religion; and, unless St. Paul was a woman in disguise, I fail to see how woman is to be blamed for a conception of her place and duty from which she has suffered more than anybody else.

Industrialism is the religion...

Industrialism is the religion with 'the machine' as the god going to answer all the prayers. Communism and capitalism were just competing sects.

Dora Russell 35 quotes

One of the problems with indu...

One of the problems with industrialism is that it's based on the premise of more and more. It has to keep expanding to keep going. More and more television sets. More and more cars. More and more steel, and more and more pollution. We don't question whether we need any more or what we'll do with them. We just have to keep on making more and more if we are to keep going. Sooner or later it's going to collapse. ... Look what we have done already with the principle of more and more when it comes to nuclear weapons.

Marriage laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

Animals we are, and animals w...

Animals we are, and animals we remain, and the path to our regeneration and happiness, if there be such a path, lies through our animal nature.

We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance. Only by learning to love one another can our world be saved. Only love can conquer all.

Following the rise of the Labour Party it seemed reasonable, in 1927, to expect, or at least hope, that co-operation for the common good might gradually replace the competitiveness of capitalism.

You could not receive a young man in your room; you might be permitted to have him to tea in one of the public reception rooms, but you could accept no invitation from young men to tea or other entertainment without a chaperone from the College.

Democracy can only spring from practising it early, and democratic action was not to expected from young people brought up under a close authoritarian system.

If an adult uses violence on a child, the child will naturally assume that he too, has the right to use it on one smaller or weaker.

Measures of self-government and a school council, especially for such young children, were a great innovation.

Marriage, laws, the police, armies and navies are the mark of human incompetence.

Dora Russell 35 quotes

We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.

The report of this made me exceedingly angry, for I could not see why information which a middle-class woman could get from her doctor should be withheld from a poorer woman who might need it far more.
