Quotes

Ruth Westheimer

  • For some people, 'ten feet tall' is just a metaphor. For me, it's more than twice my height!
  • On personal power: Our way is not soft grass, it's a mountain path with lots of rocks. But it goes upwards, forward, toward the sun.
  • [on extreme positions among the American public on assault and consent in sex] I think some people took it to the extreme. I believe that two consenting people, if they are in bed naked with each other and about to have sex, no way can they say in the middle, "I changed my mind."
  • My favorite animal is the turtle. The reason is that in order for the turtle to move, it has to stick its neck out.
  • When it comes to sex, the most important six inches are the ones between the ears.
  • I am worried that the next generation will not be able to have a real conversation.
  • Part of my success is because I'm very old-fashioned.
  • I was so short - 4 feet 7 inches - that I couldn't believe that anything could grow inside of me.
  • A lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained.
  • I wish I had met Ben Gurion. He was short
