More quotes by Eve Ensler
The minute someone tells you you have cancer, it's kind of like you die. You really do die. It's like you get that you're mortal.
Eve Ensler
It [the memoir In The Body of the World] wrote me. I joke about it, but this book was so unusual. It just started to come out. I really feel like it came straight from my body. I think it was both an expression of what I had gone through, but also it just felt like everything had come together in my body and it needed to tell that story.
Eve Ensler
There were momentary visitations. I was a visitor, not an inhabitant. I think I say that at the beginning of the book: I have made visits to the earth in my body, but it's always been as a visitor.
Eve Ensler
I began to see my body like an iPad or a car. I would drive it and demand things from it. It had no limits. It was invincible. It was to be conquered and mastered like the Earth herself.
Eve Ensler
Why don't we bring everyone up to be caring and compassionate, to believe that we are connected with everyone and everything around us?
Eve Ensler
I honestly never understood how violence against women became a women's issue. 95 percent of the violence men are doing to women.
Eve Ensler
The fact that women have been moving forward, that a woman was running for president, that we had a black president - I think there was, without a doubt, a whitelash and a complete backlash against the liberation of women, against the power of people of color.
Eve Ensler
Dance has a transformative effect on bodily trauma.
Eve Ensler
I have been struggling to find my way back into my body my whole life.
Eve Ensler
I feel very passionate that we need CAT scanners in every country in the world. There's not a CAT scanner in all of eastern Congo. People don't use the word cancer because they don't get diagnosed. They just die.
Eve Ensler
What I have found is that even when you try to transform existing structures they are so powerful they often overwhelm, seduce, and control you.
Eve Ensler
The mechanism of violence is what destroys women, controls women, diminishes women and keeps women in their so-called place.
Eve Ensler
Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars.
Eve Ensler
I want to read so I can read the Koran read the signs in the street know the number of the bus I'm supposed to take when I one day leave this house.
Eve Ensler
I'd stop calling it chemotherapy. I'd call it transformational juice. Infusion suites would become transformational suites or journey rooms.
Eve Ensler
Be transparent as wind, be as possible and relentless and dangerous, be what moves things forward without needing to leave a mark, be part of this collection of molecules that begins somewhere unknown and can't help but keep rising. Rising.Rising. Rising.
Eve Ensler
What I believe is that we have this extraordinary spirit inside ourselves, which for me is our Buddha nature. I believe we are in the process of opening and getting closer and closer to our Buddha nature and stripping away all that is covering it. I don't think I'm going to end up meeting this one being up there or out there.
Eve Ensler
An activist is someone who cannot help but fight for something. That person is not usually motivated by a need for power or money or fame, but in fact is driven slightly mad by some injustice, some cruelty, some unfairness, so much so that he or she is compelled by some internal moral engine to act to make it better.
Eve Ensler
I don't get tired, because every time a woman doesn't die or doesn't get beaten or doesn't get raped or doesn't get honor-killed or doesn't get acid-burned, it's a huge victory.
Eve Ensler
I really want to help stop violence toward women.
Eve Ensler
