More quotes by Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan

Robin Morgan
... life is a comedy far darker than drama. It just takes time to learn what to smile at.
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.
Robin Morgan
Politics becomes a part of your life once you realize it has been all along.
Robin Morgan
... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books--with one hand.
Robin Morgan
Women are a colonized people.
Robin Morgan
guilt politics ... I regard as conveniently paralyzing, ripe for backlash defensiveness, counterproductive, and boring.
Robin Morgan
Clarity of language is the first casualty of authoritarianism.
Robin Morgan
I do believe deeply that all human beings, male and female, are sexual beings, most likely bisexual beings channeled this way and that by cultures terrified of boundary crossings without passports stamped gay or straight.
