I think we're all enmeshed in this political system that is devoted to controlling reproduction. You didn't invent it I didn't invent it. Thirty percent of us are trying to preserve it, and 70 percent are trying to change it. We're not active enough or voting enough or mad enough.

Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.

You can't be what you can't see, so it's harder for women to say, I'm going to be a [presidential] candidate, so we need to go to women who would be good candidates and say, You would be a good candidate and I'll help you. It's not a passive question, it's not when will it happen, but an active question, when will we make it happen?

You are the leader you've been waiting for.

I have always employed humor, and I think it's absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion.

I do not like to write - I like to have written.

Self-esteem starts out as a personal blessing, but it becomes nothing less than an evolutionary force.

Image
If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.

Image
We have to learn to stand up for our interests. To seek purity is self-defeating and a stereotype in itself: women have to be pure, women are not concerned about money.

Law and justice are not always the same.

A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.
