More quotes by Kate Millett
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
Kate Millett
You won't do any more housework Then you go to the bin.
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
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
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
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
Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place
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
one of the blessings of adulthood is that one is no longer addressed as a thing.
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

Kate Millett
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
Kate Millett
I don't believe in monogamy, possessing people, the rightness or inevitability of jealousy.
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
To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return.
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
Hell, I don't want to grow old at all. I never want to die.
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
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.
Kate Millett
The worst part about prostitution is that you're obliged not to sell sex only, but your humanity. That's the worst part of it: that what you're selling is your human dignity. Not really so much in bed, but in accepting the agreement - in becoming a bought person.
Kate Millett
