Prostitutes are the inevitable product of a society that places ultimate importance on money, possessions, and competition.
Jane Fonda

Female listeners are leaving traditional talk radio because of the rough-edged, shouting nature of it. Women want more light and less heat.
Jane Fonda
Image
So much conspires to silence us - because our truths are inherently subversive.
Jane Fonda

I've always felt like a teacher. Whenever I've learned something important, my reaction has always been to tell everybody about it. I read a book, I buy 100 copies and I send them out.
