Kate Millett
Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard
Kate Millett
I don't believe in monogamy, possessing people, the rightness or inevitability of jealousy.
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 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
Hell, I don't want to grow old at all. I never want to die.
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
You have to be a little patient if you're an artist. People don't always get you the first time.
Kate Millett
The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.
