More quotes by Kate Millett
Aren't women prudes if they don't and prostitutes if they do?
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
Homosexuality was invented by a straight world dealing with its own bisexuality.
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
How crazy craziness makes everyone, how irrationally afraid. The madness hidden in each of us, called to, identified, aroused like a lust. And against that the jaw sets. The more I fear my own insanity the more I must punish yours.
Kate Millett
No one should be adored, it's fundamentally immoral.
Kate Millett

Kate Millett
Monogamy and prostitution go together.
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
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
We are women. We are a subject people who have inherited an alien culture.
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
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
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
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.
