“the explanation of the ebb and flow of the women's movement ... is partly psychological. During those early post-war years when successes came thick and fast and were almost thrust upon us, the nation was still under the influence of the reconstruction spirit, when everything seemed possible ...

Noble sentiments made it feel sick. It wanted only to be left alone.” WantFeelsYearsMadeStillsWarFeelingsWantedSpiritPoliticsLeftNationsFeminismInfluenceStageMovementFlowEmptySickDrinkingNoblePsychologicalMade ItPostsExplanationPocketsSentimentsThickThrustLeft AloneReconstructionEbb And FlowPost WarEmpty Pockets Author:Eleanor Rathbone
“I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.” WorldGivingBelieveMomentsCareBeautifulHateDiesIndividualLeftI BelieveSocialGrowsImaginationVisionHorrorGreedInsightEnvyNoblePursuitGentleMundane Book:Bertrand Russell's Best Source: Bertrand Russell's Best
