Quote

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?

I finally know the difference between pleasing and loving, obeying and respecting. It has taken me so many years to be okay with being different, and with being this alive, this intense.

I think many of us get separated from the mothership - our body - early on. I think the mothership is also the Earth, and life itself. Trauma separates us from that and dissociates us from our hearts.

Once you are diagnosed with cancer, time changes. It both speeds up insanely and stops altogether.
Eve Ensler
Image
When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
Eve Ensler
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
I have been struggling to find my way back into my body my whole life.

Image
Stop trying to fix your body. It was never broken.

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.

Decide whether you want to be liked or admired.

Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars.
Eve Ensler
Image
I wake up every day and I think, 'I'm breathing! It's a good day.'

The devastation of neoliberalism is so multi-fold, whether it's violence against women or desperate economic inequality or the destruction of the planet.
Eve Ensler
Image
I think the human species is very suicidal.
Eve Ensler
Image
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
Image
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.

I think for me, happiness is crucial, but I think we think that happiness comes from amassing goods and getting things and being loved and being successful, when in fact my experience of happiness comes when you give everything away, when you serve people, when you're watching something you do make somebody happy, that's when happiness happens.

We're in a crisis. We're in a crisis like I don't think America has ever known in my lifetime. But we have to keep joy in our lives, love in our lives, poetry in our lives, dancing in our lives.

It seems to me there's this tyranny that's not accidental or incidental, to make women feel compelled to look like somebody they're not. I think the effort is being made to get us to turn our time and attention to this instead of important political issues.
