Every month, it is woman's fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.

The moral ambivalence of the great mother goddesses has been conveniently forgotten by those American feminists who have resurrected them. We cannot grasp nature's bare blade without shedding our own blood.

Running to Mommy and Daddy on the campus grievance committee is unworthy of strong women.

Straight men who visit prostitutes are valiantly striving to keep sex free from emotion, duty, family--in other words, from society, religion, and procreative Mother Nature.
