Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning.
Kate Millett
To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return.

How crazy craziness makes everyone, how irrationally afraid. The madness hidden in each of us, called to, identified, aroused like a lust. And against that the jaw sets. The more I fear my own insanity the more I must punish yours.
Kate Millett
You won't do any more housework Then you go to the bin.
Kate Millett

Kate Millett
In those days, when you got boxed, that was it. A lot of old people were there because somebody wanted the farm. It was about property. People are treated like property.
Kate Millett
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
Kate Millett
The rationale which accompanies that imposition of male authority euphemistically referred to as 'the battle of the sexes' bears a certain resemblance to the formulas of nations at war, where any heinousness is justified on the grounds that the enemy is either an inferior [part of the] species or really not human at all.
Kate Millett
To be a rebel is not to be a revolutionary. It is more often by a way of spinning one's wheels deeper in sand.
Kate Millett
They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
Kate Millett
I don't believe in monogamy, possessing people, the rightness or inevitability of jealousy.
