More quotes by Kate Millett

Kate Millett
one of the blessings of adulthood is that one is no longer addressed as a thing.
Kate Millett

Kate Millett
Mystical state, madness, how it frightens people. How utterly crazy they become, remote, rude, peculiar, cruel, taunting, farouche as wild beasts who have smelled danger, the unthinkable.
Kate Millett
During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?
Kate Millett
You won't do any more housework Then you go to the bin.
Kate Millett
Ah, but depression - that is what we all hate. We the afflicted. Whereas the relatives and shrinks, the tribal ring, they rather welcome it: you are quiet and you suffer.
Kate Millett
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
Kate Millett
I saw hell. The hospital had divided and conquered pretty successfully.
