Robin Morgan
Your life is the one place you have to spend yourself fully - wild - generous, drastic in an unrationed profligacy of self.
Robin Morgan
I feel that 'man-hating' is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.
Robin Morgan
