More quotes by 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
You won't do any more housework Then you go to the bin.
Kate Millett
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
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
Mystical state, madness, how it frightens people. How utterly crazy they become, remote, rude, peculiar, cruel, taunting, farouche as wild beasts who have smelled danger, the unthinkable.
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
Homosexuality was invented by a straight world dealing with its own bisexuality.
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
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
Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard
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
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
It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.
Kate Millett
Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.
Kate Millett
To be a rebel is not to be a revolutionary. It is more often by a way of spinning one's wheels deeper in sand.
Kate Millett
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
Kate Millett
They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.
Kate Millett
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
Kate Millett
