More quotes by Andrea Dworkin
I love books the way I love nature. ... I can imagine now that a time will come, that it is almost upon us, when no one will love books ... It is no accident, I think, that books and nature (as we know it) may disappear simultaneously from human experience. There is no mind-body split.

It is a tragedy beyond the power of language to convey when what has been imposed on women by force becomes a standard of freedom for women: and all the women say it is so.
Andrea Dworkin
I also had nightmares. Somehow all the feelings I didn't feel when each thing had actually happened to me I did feel when I slept.

Feminism is a political practice of fighting male supremacy on behalf of women as a class, including all the women you don't like, including all the women you don't want to be around, including all the women who use to be your best friends whom you don't want anything to do with any more. It doesn't matter who the individual women are.
Andrea Dworkin
Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it.

The creative mind is intelligence in action in the world.

The tragedy is that women so committed to survival cannot recognize that they are committing suicide.

Touch is the meaning of being human.

Feminism exists so that no woman ever has to face her abuser in isolation, alone.
Andrea Dworkin
Pornography is the essential sexuality of male power: of hate, of ownership, of hierarchy of sadism, of dominance.
Andrea Dworkin
On the Left, on the Right, in the Middle Authors, statesmen, thieves so-called humanists and self-declared fascists the adventurous and the contemplative, in every realm of male expression and action, violence is experienced and articulated as love and freedom.
Andrea Dworkin
Any man will follow any feminine looking thing down any dark alley I've always wanted to see a man beaten to a shit bloody pulp with a high-heeled shoe stuffed up his mouth, sort of the pig with the apple it would be good to put him on a serving plate but you'd need good silver.
Andrea Dworkin
How can anyone love someone who is less than a full person, unless love itself is domination per se?
Andrea Dworkin
Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership.
Andrea Dworkin
Male supremacy is fused into the language, so that every sentence both heralds and affirms it.
Andrea Dworkin
The common erotic project of destroying women makes it possible for men to unite into a brotherhood this project is the only firm and trustworthy groundwork for cooperation among males and all male bonding is based on it.
Andrea Dworkin
I never met a man who wasn't stupider than me.
Andrea Dworkin
Feminist art may... though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme... should we call it 'joy'?
Andrea Dworkin
Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not.
