More quotes by Eve Ensler
You have to give to the world the thing that you want the most, in order to fix the broken parts inside you.
Eve Ensler
I wake up every day and I think, 'I'm breathing! It's a good day.'
Eve Ensler
I despise charity. It gives crumbs to a few and silences the others.
Eve Ensler
Dance has a transformative effect on bodily trauma.
Eve Ensler
I am so grateful to be alive. It's ridiculous to be alive.
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
When you bring consciousness to anything, things begin to shift.
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
We have no idea how many women were raped in wars - because no one ever asked. So sometimes when people say statistics have escalated, I wonder if, that is true or are we just hearing about things now that we didn't hear about before.
Eve Ensler
I'm in good shape. My cancer means I have lost a lot of organs and I'm a lot lighter. I have devoted myself to yoga and I'm doing handstands.
Eve Ensler
If you listen to the real in you, that part that's pulsing and has questions and is trying to figure something out, it will shape your life in a way where, when you get to be sixty, you'll succeed. You'll be happy about your life.
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
We have not yet made violence against women abnormal, extraordinary, unacceptable. We have not yet come to see it as a pathological issue.
Eve Ensler
Each time I had five hours of the poison going into me, I just pictured everything that needed to be burned away. I pictured wars, I pictured the things my father had done to me, I pictured brutality, and when it was over, I am light.
Eve Ensler
I really want to help stop violence toward women.
Eve Ensler
You have visits, then you have disappearances. You enter, then you exit. You come, you go. It would be so great if you could just get to human enlightenment on a linear path.
Eve Ensler
Theater has an incredible capacity to move people to social change, to address issues, to inspire social revolution.
Eve Ensler
Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars.
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.
Eve Ensler
I think what's been true across the board is the universal patriarchy, the fear of women ever being born back into complete sexuality and life-force. This manifests itself in different cultural variances, but that's really what's going on everywhere.
