Image
It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.
Kate Millett
Image
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.
Kate Millett
Image
I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
Kate Millett
Image
Homosexuality was invented by a straight world dealing with its own bisexuality.
Kate Millett
Image
Perhaps nothing is so depressing an index of the inhumanity of the male-supremacist mentality as the fact that the more genial human traits are assigned to the underclass: affection, response to sympathy, kindness, cheerfulness.
Kate Millett
Image
I don't believe in monogamy, possessing people, the rightness or inevitability of jealousy.
Kate Millett
Image
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.
