Doormat Quotes
People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
Rebecca West
I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it's about trying to find some strength through that.
Lucinda Williams
I'm a bit of a tomboy, but when it comes to love I am a doormat.
Elisabetta Canalis
If you want to be a doormat you have to lay yourself down first.
Oscar Wilde
Pretty woman, he thought. Pretty little black-skinned woman. Who wanted to kill for love, die for love. The pride, the conceit of these doormat women amazed him. They were always women who had been spoiled children. Whose whims had been taken seriously by adults and who grew up to be the stingiest, greediest people on earth and out of their stinginess grew their stingy little love that ate everything in sight. They could not believe or accept the fact that they were unloved; they believed that the world itself was off balance when it appeared as though they were not loved. Why did they think they were so lovable? Why did they think their brand of love was better than, or even as good as, anybody else's? But they did. And they loved their love so much they would kill anybody who got in its way.
Toni Morrison
As women, we need to remember: don't be a doormat!
Amanda Harlech
You can't always be the jokester and the doormat.
Manny Montana
To blame feminism for women's "lesser life” is to miss entirely the point of feminism, which is to win women a wider range of experience. Feminism remains a pretty simple concept, despite repeated - and enormously effective efforts to dress it up in greasepaint and turn its proponents into gargoyles. As Rebecca West wrote sardonically in 1913, "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: l only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat."
Susan Faludi
We refuse to be treated as the doormat for the government to wipe its jackboots on.
Desmond Tutu
