More quotes by Eve Ensler
Some days I would get so exhausted, nauseous, in pain - just from going back through things. It's almost as if I had the experience and then the meta-experience.
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'm a nomad. I have a place in New York in the Flatiron District, and I have a place in Paris in Ile Saint-Louis, and I spend a lot of time in Congo.
Eve Ensler
When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
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 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
The people who are on the front lines every day in hospitals, nurses, the people who are running clinics, the people who are taking care of your children, those are the people who are the lovers of the world, are the good of the world.
Eve Ensler
I think the world is always improving and always not improving. I think that both are simultaneously happening all the time. I don't think it's one motion unfortunately - I wish we could say it's better, better, better - but I think it's better, bad, better, bad - you know?
Eve Ensler
I really want to help stop violence toward women.
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
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
I would rate the fact that I get to be alive a big beautiful 10. Satisfaction with myself - work in progress.
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
When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.
Eve Ensler
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
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
The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure.
Eve Ensler
I think the human species is very suicidal.
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
I honestly never understood how violence against women became a women's issue. 95 percent of the violence men are doing to women.
