More quotes by Robin Morgan
For a poet, making poems is a way of viewing the world, being in the world, breathing.
Robin Morgan
... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books--with one hand.
Robin Morgan
White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today.
Robin Morgan
When table utensils were invented in the 1100s, the Catholic Church condemned them as obscene and heretical, claiming, 'God gave us fingers with which to eat.' And we're supposed to get politically discouraged? Oh please. We're being opposed by people who denounced the fork.
Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan
Women are a colonized people.
Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan
It isn't until you begin to fight in your own cause that you (a) become really committed to winning, and (b) become a genuine ally of other people struggling for their freedom.
Robin Morgan
The women's movement is a non-hierarchical one. It does things collectively and experimentally.
Robin Morgan
Politics becomes a part of your life once you realize it has been all along.
Robin Morgan
Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.
Robin Morgan
My white skin disgusts me. My passport disgusts me. They are the marks of an insufferable privilege bought at the price of others' agony. If I could peel myself inside out I would be glad. If I could become part of the oppressed I would be free.
Robin Morgan
... life is a comedy far darker than drama. It just takes time to learn what to smile at.
Robin Morgan
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Robin Morgan
If I had to characterize one quality as the genius of feminist thought, culture, and action, it would be the connectivity.
Robin Morgan
Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility.
Robin Morgan
An indigenous feminism has been present in every culture in the world and in every period of history since the suppression of women began.
