The greatest movement for social justice our country has ever known is the civil rights movement and it was totally rooted in a love ethic.

Feminist thinking teaches us all, especially, how to love justice and freedom in ways that foster and affirm life.

Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.

It is important for this country to make its people so obsessed with their own liberal individualism that they do not have time to think about a world larger than self.

In a culture of domination, preoccupation with victimage is inevitable.

My idea of a delicious time is to read a book that is wonderful. But the ruling passion of my life is being a seeker after truth and the divine.

Feminist effort to end patriarchal domination should be of primary concern precisely because it insists on the eradication of exploitation and oppression in the family context and in all other intimate relationships. It is that political movement which most radically addresses the person – the personal – citing the need for the transformation of self, of relationships, so that we might be better able to act in a revolutionary manner, challenging and resisting domination, transforming the world outside the self.
