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.

More quotes by Eve Ensler
I am so grateful to be alive. It's ridiculous to be alive.
Eve Ensler
Dance has a transformative effect on bodily trauma.
Eve Ensler
Decide whether you want to be liked or admired.
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
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
When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
Eve Ensler
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
An activist is someone who cannot help but fight for something. That person is not usually motivated by a need for power or money or fame, but in fact is driven slightly mad by some injustice, some cruelty, some unfairness, so much so that he or she is compelled by some internal moral engine to act to make it better.
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
Security is elusive. It's impossible. We all die. We all get old. We all get sick. People leave us. People change us. Nothing is secure.
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
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
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
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
Eve Ensler
I feel passionate about nurses. I would do anything for nurses. Anything.
Eve Ensler
I feel very passionate that we need CAT scanners in every country in the world. There's not a CAT scanner in all of eastern Congo. People don't use the word cancer because they don't get diagnosed. They just die.
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 despise charity. It gives crumbs to a few and silences the others.
Eve Ensler
I feel sometimes with boys that the tyranny of patriarchy has had a much more devastating blow on boys than it has on anyone. Because they have literally been forced to disassociate from their hearts.
Eve Ensler
Stop trying to fix your body. It was never broken.
Eve Ensler
