I dream that love without tyranny is possible
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.
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
All personal, psychological, social, and institutionalized domination on this earth can be traced back to its source: the phallic identities of men.
Andrea Dworkin
Families make possible the super-exploitation of women by training them to look upon their work outside the home as peripheral to their 'true' role.
Andrea Dworkin
