Image
To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return.
Kate Millett
Image
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
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
When one group rules another, the relationship between the two is political. When such an arrangement is carried out over a long period of time it develops an ideology (feudalism, racism, etc.). All historical civilizations are patriarchies: their ideology is male supremacy.
Kate Millett
Image
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
Hell, I don't want to grow old at all. I never want to die.
Kate Millett
Image
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?

Image
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
Kate Millett
Image
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
Image
It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.
Kate Millett
Image
For it is precisely because certain groups have no representation in a number of recognized political structures that their position tends to be so stable, their oppression so continuous.
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.

Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place
Kate Millett
Image
As women, we're probably more protective of children. Also, we've been minors all of our history
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.
Kate Millett
Image
one of the blessings of adulthood is that one is no longer addressed as a thing.
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.
