Kate Millett
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
Kate Millett
Hostility is expressed in a number of ways. One is laughter.
Kate Millett
For it is precisely because certain groups have no representation in a number of recognized political structures that their position tends to be so stable, their oppression so continuous.
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
We are women. We are a subject people who have inherited an alien culture.
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
