Kate Millett
I saw hell. The hospital had divided and conquered pretty successfully.
Kate Millett
The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.
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
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
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
They weren't crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that.
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.
