More quotes by Kate Millett
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
Kate Millett

Kate Millett
You have to be a little patient if you're an artist. People don't always get you the first time.
Kate Millett
Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning.
Kate Millett
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Kate Millett
The worst part about prostitution is that you're obliged not to sell sex only, but your humanity. That's the worst part of it: that what you're selling is your human dignity. Not really so much in bed, but in accepting the agreement - in becoming a bought person.
Kate Millett
The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.
Kate Millett
However muted its present appearance may be, sexual dominion obtains nevertheless as perhaps the most pervasive ideology of our culture and provides its most fundamental concept of power
Kate Millett
No one should be adored, it's fundamentally immoral.
Kate Millett
To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return.
Kate Millett
