More quotes by Cheryl Clarke
The woman who takes a woman lover lives dangerously in patriarchy.
Cheryl Clarke
Heterosexuality is a die-hard custom through which male-supremacist institutions insure their own perpetuity and control over us. Women are kept, maintained and contained through terror, violence, and the spray of semen...[Lesbianism is] an ideological, political and philosophical means of liberation of all women from heterosexual tyranny.
Cheryl Clarke
So, all of us would do well to stop fighting each other for our space at the bottom, because there ain't no more room.
Cheryl Clarke
