Turning Points Quotes - Page 7

• El siglo XX fue un punto de inflexión; liberó y emancipó a las mujeres, rompió el espinazo de la segregación e inició la lucha por dar justicia a gays y lesbianas. Pero la Iglesia cristiana, tanto católica como protestante, se resistió a cada uno de esos avances humanizadores. La Iglesia estuvo en el lado equivocado de esas tres luchas.

• El crisol es una línea divisoria, un punto de inflexión, y quienes lo han atravesado sienten que son muy diferentes de como eran antes. Creyendo que han sido transformados o que se han transformado a sí mismos, los que sobreviven al crisol (y muchos no lo hacen) tienen más confianza en sí mismos, están más dispuestos a asumir futuros riesgos. Esa nueva confianza en sí mismo se basa en la creencia de que ha hecho algo difícil y lo ha hecho bien.

• When the Berlin Wall fell and suddenly all those countries had burgeoning democracies, women were still being left out.

• De pequeña me gustaba mucho el arte. En el instituto me gustaban los surrealistas y los impresionistas, y me encantaba Klimt.

Fue un punto de inflexión para mí en cuanto a lo que el arte podía ser y lo que significaba y el impacto que podía tener.
