"Candor is a compliment; it implies equality. It’s how true friends talk." ― Peggy Noonan Topic(s): Equality More From Peggy Noonan "Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen." "Part of courage is simple consistency." "The battle for the mind of Ronald Reagan was like the trench warfare of World War I: never have so many fought so hard for such barren terrain." More In Equality "Feudal societies don’t create great cinema; we have great theatre. The egalitarian societies create great cinema. The Americans, the French. Because equality is sort of what the cinema deals with. It deals with stories which don’t fall into ‘Everybody in their place and who’s who,’ and all that. But the theatre’s full of that."― Brian Cox "The media says that equality for women has arrived, but if you look around, you still don’t see girls playing guitars and having success with it."― Joan Jett "There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with."― Woodrow Wilson
