“One of the problems is that the notion of cancer has been so normalized. You hear about it so often, and it's not ok... it's not ok to normalize this disease. And with all of the pinkwashing that goes on where companies are selling products based on breast cancer month it's a lovely gesture, but consumers get so used to it that it becomes more normal.” Has BeensProblemUsedCompanyProductsMonthsGoes OnDiseaseNormalNotionCancerLovelySellingConsumersBreastsGesturesBreast CancerSelling Products Author:Jennifer Beals
“One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... What those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. The absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.” WayFeelsShouldMeanStatesEvilPoliticsRealizingNaturalExistenceEconomyProductsClaimsPropertyNotionAbsenceLiberalismConcentrationOwnershipTheftIdeologicalPrivate Property Author:Daniel Patrick Moynihan

“All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. On the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds; they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. If, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them; for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences.” IfsMindArtMadeWisdomHandsHopeWishKnowledgeWiseProductsActivityConceptsConsequenceEssenceExperienceComplexesNotionRelatedAbstractLogicalMutualOur ThoughtsSpontaneousAssertion Author:Albert Einstein
“I let go of the notion that the Bible is a divine product. I learned that it is a human cultural product, the product of two ancient communities, biblical Israel and early Christianity. As such, it contained their understandings and affirmations, not statements coming directly or somewhat directly from God. . . . I realized that whatever "divine revelation" and the "inspiration of the Bible" meant (if they meant anything), they did not mean that the Bible was a divine product with divine authority.” IfsHumansMeanTwoInspirationUnderstandingCommunityChristianityDivineProductsLetting GoAuthorityNotionAncientIsraelI RealizedStatementsRevelationsBiblicalAffirmationDivine Revelation Author:Marcus Borg

“When the feminist movement was at its zenith in the late 60's and early 70's, there was a lot of moving away from the idea of the person. It was: let's talk about the ideas behind the work, and the people matter less. It was kind of a gimmicky thing, but lots of feminist women were doing it. Many of us took the names of our female ancestors - bell hooks is my maternal great grandmother - to honor them and debunk the notion that we were these unique, exceptional women. We wanted to say, actually, we were the products of the women who'd gone before us.” PeopleKindPersonsIdeasMatterWantedMovingNamesBehindsGoneMovementProductsHonorLateUniqueFemaleNotionFeministGrandmotherAncestorBellsHookExceptionalMoving AwayFeminist MovementZenithGreat Grandmother Author:Bell Hooks
