More quotes by 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
Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back.
Eve Ensler
I wake up every day and I think, 'I'm breathing! It's a good day.'
Eve Ensler
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.
Eve Ensler
I feel passionate about nurses. I would do anything for nurses. Anything.
Eve Ensler
To have insurance and have a diagnosis and to have doctors, I just felt it would be immoral on some level to complain.
Eve Ensler
I think we need to teach pleasure. What beautiful touch means. What reciprocity means. What being connected and what intimacy means. Boys get out there at a young age and the performance posturing is so great and ends up being hard and aggressive.
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
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 got to a nine-hour surgery, I lost lots of body parts and rearranged, I got really months of infection that I lost 30 pounds. But the idea of pumping poison into my bloodstream just - I couldn't, I couldn't.
Eve Ensler
We must stop being polite and behaved and find new inventive tactics to shift the paradigm. We are the majority.
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
Why don't we teach sex the way we teach math or history? It is such a deeply crucial and healing part of life and we offer no road map. I think it is core to ending violence.
Eve Ensler
Good is towing the line, being behaved, being quiet, being passive, fitting in, being liked, and great is being messy, having a belly, speaking your mind, standing up for what you believe in, fighting for another paradigm, not letting people talk you out of what you know to be true.
Eve Ensler
I have been struggling to find my way back into my body my whole life.
Eve Ensler
Decide whether you want to be liked or admired.
Eve Ensler
Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars.
Eve Ensler
I think it was a realization of this cancer, an understanding of the broader implications of what cancer is. The greed, the ravaging of lands and seas for profit, the taking of things that don't belong to us what we've done to the environment in this fast-paced, careless hunger. I think all of that was happening in my body.
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)
