More quotes by Kate Millett
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
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.
Kate Millett
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
Hostility is expressed in a number of ways. One is laughter.
Kate Millett
What is the natural reaction when told you have a hopeless mental illness? That diagnosis does you in that, and the humiliation of being there. I mean, the indignity you're subjected to. My God.
Kate Millett
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
They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
Kate Millett
Everybody believes in psychiatry it's supposed to be for our own good. Let psychiatry prove that anybody has an illness, and I'd concede, but there is no physical proof.
Kate Millett
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
Kate Millett
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
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 saw hell. The hospital had divided and conquered pretty successfully.
Kate Millett
Hell, I don't want to grow old at all. I never want to die.
Kate Millett
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
Kate Millett
The image of the woman as we know it is an image created by men and fashioned to suit their needs.
Kate Millett
You won't do any more housework Then you go to the bin.
Kate Millett
It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.
Kate Millett
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?
Kate Millett
No one should be adored, it's fundamentally immoral.
Kate Millett
The rationale which accompanies that imposition of male authority euphemistically referred to as 'the battle of the sexes' bears a certain resemblance to the formulas of nations at war, where any heinousness is justified on the grounds that the enemy is either an inferior [part of the] species or really not human at all.
