More quotes by Eve Ensler
For many years now, I feel like my own body struggle has been linked and connected with women I meet in the world. I think we're in this together.
Eve Ensler
If you were around in the '60s, you already know that music and art and love are a critical part of the revolution. This is how we fight.
Eve Ensler
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
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 is almost a guarantee that in the pursuit of security you will become more insecure. Inherent in the quest for security is its undoing.
Eve Ensler
The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure.
Eve Ensler
Dance has a transformative effect on bodily trauma.
Eve Ensler
People are more afraid to love than they are to kill.
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
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 all my work's been about how do women get back into our bodies how do men get back. We're all disassociated.
Eve Ensler
You have visits, then you have disappearances. You enter, then you exit. You come, you go. It would be so great if you could just get to human enlightenment on a linear path.
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
We have not yet made violence against women abnormal, extraordinary, unacceptable. We have not yet come to see it as a pathological issue.
Eve Ensler
Do you say that tree isn't pretty cause it doesn't look like that tree? We're all trees. You're a tree. I'm a tree. You've got to love your body, Eve. You've got to love your tree. Love your tree. (Leah)
Eve Ensler
Look, you do everything in stages, right? I don't think everything happens at once. There are so many layers we are constantly chipping away at, down and down and down, closer and closer to what would be the body. I think what happened with cancer, was that I woke up out of nine hours of surgery and I was body. I was just body.
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
Success itself doesn't give you happiness. It's what you do with your success that gives you happiness.
Eve Ensler
If I had a dream it would be to think, What would it be like for everybody to have the kind of health care I had? What would that feel like? How would that be, to live in that world? Because I'll tell you, to be really, really sick, and to not have money. That is terrifying. And in my opinion, a travesty.
Eve Ensler
I came out of the nine-hour surgery and I had tubes in every direction, and those nurses at the Mayo Clinic, I could cry for four days at the kindness of those nurses. The care, the detail of the care, the attention that just never wavered, never complained. The love.
Eve Ensler
