More quotes by Kate Millett

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
People have a right to their own lives, and if you can't help somebody, you ought to get out of their way.
Kate Millett
I don't believe in monogamy, possessing people, the rightness or inevitability of jealousy.
Kate Millett
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
It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.
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
The lesbian is the archtypical feminist, because she's not into men - she's the independent woman par excellence.
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
The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.
