More quotes by Eve Ensler
I really want to help stop violence toward women.
Eve Ensler
The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure.
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 think we have to get bolder. Why after Fukushima didn't we all go out and shut down all the nuclear power plants and stay there until it happened?
Eve Ensler
When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.
Eve Ensler
Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars.
Eve Ensler
Political change and academic change and intellectual change are obviously crucial, but they don't necessarily change society. They can change a particular class and give everybody in that class great arguments, but that doesn't necessarily translate into the body of the culture.
Eve Ensler
Money doesn't make you special, it makes you lucky. Be generous, be crazy, be outrageous.
Eve Ensler
I think being an activist and an artist is an interesting contradiction, because so often they are at odds with one another. When you write as an artist you have to clean the palate of your own politics in creating characters and activism is kind of the exact opposite.
Eve Ensler
People are more afraid to love than they are to kill.
Eve Ensler
Decide whether you want to be liked or admired.
Eve Ensler
I think to be honest, that being is inside. I meet that being in so many people that I meet everywhere in the world and when I do meet that being, in other people, what I want to ask is How do we keep opening ourselves so that we can become as vulnerable and as willing to live in the deepest complexity and ambiguity and truth that we can?
Eve Ensler
It really occurred to me at a certain point: women have not been embodied. Feminism has not been embodied. It hasn't gotten into us in a way where it is so undeniable that there is nothing to prove. Do you know what I mean? That we are so in our feminist skin, so to speak, that we are that world now.
Eve Ensler
I think what all of us have in common is that we've been taught and trained and programmed to focus on fixing and mutilating ourselves. That's a core reason why women do not have power in the world.
Eve Ensler
In America, we have a government that is now run by white nationalists, by billionaires, by incredible misogynists.
Eve Ensler
People didn't feel so much shame around it and that they didn't feel so much humiliation around it. And the other thing that people have given me a lot of feedback about - something I'm very excited about - is all the stuff around chemo as an empathetic warrior.
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
We live in a racist world. Everywhere there is racism. We say to White people, You really have to examine how you behave in the world. You are responsible for deconstructing internalized racism and being part of a ongoing process of decolonizing yourself.
Eve Ensler
When I wrote 'The Good Body,' I turned 40 and suddenly had this stomach. It seemed like the end of the world. Because I didn't value my body. I was constantly judging it, but I also didn't live in it.
Eve Ensler
There is a global epidemic where one out of three women will be beaten or sexually assaulted in their lifetimes? How are we going to build a future of love and connection? And why would this not be of utmost concern to men?
