Robin Morgan
Don't accept rides from strange men, and remember that all men are strange.
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
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
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
