Ita Buttrose quotes

-- Ita Buttrose -
“The only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves.”
-- Ita Buttrose -
“Whatever influence you have, it's only for a small amount of time. When Sir Frank (Packer) sold the Daily and Sunday Telegraph to Rupert Murdoch in 1972, I lost my position as women's editor. Suddenly the phones stopped ringing. All the people who said they were my friends, I didn't hear from them. I was only in my 20's, and that was a sobering lesson to learn: how fleeting everything is, and how easily it can be taken away from you. So you never take yourself too seriously, you never think you're too important.”
-- Ita Buttrose -
“Only a loser finds it impossible to accept a temporary setback. A winner asks why.”
-- Ita Buttrose -

“Like it or not, liberation for women will be achieved only with the full co-operation of men.”
-- Ita Buttrose -
“The reason women are always reluctant to reveal their age is because other people label them as 'past it'. In the 21st century, women over 60 are not past it - we are vital, active, sexual beings, living life to the full.”
-- Ita Buttrose -
“I played to win. When I was a child, my brothers and I played cowboys and Indians in the park, and I was always an Indian who got captured. That was a learning experience; they were showing me that as a woman I was going to be captured. But in a metaphorical sense, I think I did eventually become a cowboy.”
-- Ita Buttrose
