More quotes by Eve Ensler
I think when people begin to tell their stories, everything changes, because not only are you legitimized in the telling of your story and are you found, literally, like you matter, you exist in the telling of your story, but when you hear your story be told, you suddenly exist in community and with others.
Eve Ensler
I think we are seeing the absolute and utter collapse of male politicians in this [U.S] country and we're seeing what the underpinnings of the power structure are, which are sexist underpinnings.
Eve Ensler
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
Eve Ensler
There is a global epidemic where one out of three women will be beaten or sexually assaulted in their lifetimes? How are we going to build a future of love and connection? And why would this not be of utmost concern to men?
Eve Ensler
When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.
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
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
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.
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
I despise charity. It gives crumbs to a few and silences the others.
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
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
What we all have to know is the struggle is long. It's long. It may not end in our lifetimes. But the struggle is what gives our lives meaning and purpose. I tell people to take time out of activism every day to take care of their bodies, to take care of their souls and spirits.
Eve Ensler
I think about Marvin Gaye and 'Sexual Healing.' What a radical idea that sex was healing. I learned my politics through that music.
Eve Ensler
In America, we have a government that is now run by white nationalists, by billionaires, by incredible misogynists.
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
I'd stop calling it chemotherapy. I'd call it transformational juice. Infusion suites would become transformational suites or journey rooms.
Eve Ensler
When we give in the world what we want the most, we heal the broken part inside each of us.
Eve Ensler
Dance has a transformative effect on bodily trauma.
Eve Ensler
When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
