More quotes by Robin Morgan
Women are a colonized people.
Robin Morgan
The women's movement is a non-hierarchical one. It does things collectively and experimentally.
Robin Morgan
A genuine Left doesn't consider anyone's suffering irrelevant or titillating nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.
Robin Morgan
Carry yourself as one who will change the world, because you will.
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
Ordinary is a word that has no meaning.
Robin Morgan

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.
Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan
The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion
Robin Morgan
White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today.
Robin Morgan
Feminism is for all women and girls, not a privileged few or one ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference, ability, region or hemisphere.
Robin Morgan
For a poet, making poems is a way of viewing the world, being in the world, breathing.
Robin Morgan
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
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
people are capable of profound metamorphosis, though unfortunately they rarely avail themselves of this genius, force of habit being an even greater enemy of change than cowardice.
Robin Morgan
... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books--with one hand.
Robin Morgan
The egg cackles and lays the chicken.
Robin Morgan
I am an artist and a political being as well.
Robin Morgan
In the long run, Women's Liberation will of course free men-but in the short run it's going to COST men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily.
