Guilt and defensiveness are bricks in a wall against which we all flounder; they serve none of our futures.

For women, the need and desire to nurture each other is not pathological but redemptive, and it is within that knowledge that our real power is rediscovered. It is this real connection, which is so feared by a patriarchal world.

Unless one lives and loves in the trenches, it is difficult to remember that the war against dehumanization is ceaseless.

The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.

Guilt is only another way of avoiding informed action.

Without community, there is no liberation.

My fear of anger taught me nothing.
