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

Fame is fun, money is useful, celebrity can be exciting, but finally life is about optimal well-being and how we achieve that in dominator culture, in a greedy culture, in a culture that uses so much of the world’s resources. How do men and women, boys and girls, live lives of compassion, justice and love? And I think that’s the visionary challenge for feminism and all other progressive movements for social change.

Secrets find a way out in sleep . . . It is the place where there is no pretense.

Commitment to truth telling lays the groundwork for the openness and honesty that is the heartbeat of love.

Power feminism is just another scam in which women get to play patriarchs and pretend that the power we seek and gain liberates us.

The one person who will never leave us, whom we will never lose, is ourself. Learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin.

You must have courage to love, you have to have a profound will to do what is right to love, and it does not come easy.
