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
Image
The whole bloody system is sick: the very notion of leadership, a balloon with a face painted upon it, elected and inflated by media's diabolic need to reduce ideas to personalities.
Kate Millett
Image

Kate Millett
Image
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
Kate Millett
Image
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
Image
A sexual revolution begins with the emancipation of women, who are the chief victims of patriarchy, and also with the ending of homosexual oppression.

They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
Kate Millett
Image
In sex one wants or does not want. And the grief, the sorrow of life is that one cannot make or coerce or persuade the wanting, cannot command it, cannot request it by mail order or finagle it through bureaucratic channels.
Kate Millett
Image
Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning.
