If you can't change reality, change your perceptions of it.

Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one's own actions or lack of action.

The love expressed between women is particular and powerful because we have had to love in order to live; love has been our survival.

The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings.

I have always wanted to be both man and woman, to incorporate the strongest and richest parts of my mother and father within/into me - to share valleys and mountains upon my body the way the earth does in hills and peaks.

And where the words of women are crying to be heard, we must each of us recognize our responsibility to seek those words out, to read them and share them and examine them in their pertinence to our lives.

The fact that we are here and that I speak these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence. And there are so many silences to be broken.
