Kate Millett

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
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
Kate Millett
Hell, I don't want to grow old at all. I never want to die.
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
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.
