You have to be a little patient if you're an artist. People don't always get you the first time.

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?

With the first act of cruelty committed in the name of revolution, with the first murder, with the first purge and execution, we have lost the revolution.
Kate Millett
Image
The lesbian is the archtypical feminist, because she's not into men - she's the independent woman par excellence.
Kate Millett
Image
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
Kate Millett
Image
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
Image
Hostility is expressed in a number of ways. One is laughter.
Kate Millett
Image
Perhaps nothing is so depressing an index of the inhumanity of the male-supremacist mentality as the fact that the more genial human traits are assigned to the underclass: affection, response to sympathy, kindness, cheerfulness.
Kate Millett
Image
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Kate Millett
Image
The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.
Kate Millett
Image
The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young.

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.
