Robin Morgan
For a poet, making poems is a way of viewing the world, being in the world, breathing.
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
being Cassandra is a principled choice when there is cause for alarm.
Robin Morgan
The subtlest and most vicious aspect of women's oppression is that we have been conditioned to believe we are not oppressed, blinded so as not to see our own condition.
Robin Morgan
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Robin Morgan
Politics becomes a part of your life once you realize it has been all along.
