More quotes by Eve Ensler
It is almost a guarantee that in the pursuit of security you will become more insecure. Inherent in the quest for security is its undoing.
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
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
Since cancer, I feel like I have dreams rather than ambitions, visions rather than plans.
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
I think the greatest illusion we have is that denial protects us. It's actually the biggest distortion and lie. In fact, staying asleep is what's killing us.
Eve Ensler
I came out of the nine-hour surgery and I had tubes in every direction, and those nurses at the Mayo Clinic, I could cry for four days at the kindness of those nurses. The care, the detail of the care, the attention that just never wavered, never complained. The love.
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.
Eve Ensler
What I have found is that even when you try to transform existing structures they are so powerful they often overwhelm, seduce, and control you.
Eve Ensler
I feel passionate about nurses. I would do anything for nurses. Anything.
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
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
When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.
Eve Ensler
The mechanism of violence is what destroys women, controls women, diminishes women and keeps women in their so-called place.
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
When you listen to other women’s stories, you begin to understand your own better, and you begin to find ways back through and with each other.
Eve Ensler
I think we have made progress. There's no doubt about it, we have moved forward. But there's some essential, core thing that has not been deconstructed. And I'm telling you, it's connected to the body. I know it is.
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 to be cut off from your heart is the greatest tyranny in the world.
Eve Ensler
I think many of us get separated from the mothership - our body - early on. I think the mothership is also the Earth, and life itself. Trauma separates us from that and dissociates us from our hearts.
