More quotes by Kate Millett
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
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
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
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
It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.
Kate Millett
The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.
Kate Millett
As women, we're probably more protective of children. Also, we've been minors all of our history
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
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
I don't believe in monogamy, possessing people, the rightness or inevitability of jealousy.
Kate Millett
Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place
Kate Millett
However muted its present appearance may be, sexual dominion obtains nevertheless as perhaps the most pervasive ideology of our culture and provides its most fundamental concept of power
Kate Millett
The lesbian is the archtypical feminist, because she's not into men - she's the independent woman par excellence.
Kate Millett
No one should be adored, it's fundamentally immoral.
Kate Millett
Hostility is expressed in a number of ways. One is laughter.
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
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
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
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
They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
Kate Millett
