I believe that it is impossible for two individuals not committed to their own and each other’s well being to sustain a healthy and enduring relationship.

I often find it easier to be teaching or giving to others, and often struggle with the place of my own pleasure and joy.

The soul of our politics is the commitment to ending domination.

It's in the act of having to do things that you don't want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego.

One of the things that we must do as teachers is twirl around and around, and find out what works with the situation that we're in. Our models might not work. And that twirling, changing, is part of the empowerment.

One difference with the political writings, whether about feminism or class, is that the intent is to change how people think of a certain political reality; whereas with cultural criticism, the goal is to illuminate something that is already there.

schools for love do not exist. everyone assumes that we will know how to love instinctively. despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we still accept that the family is the primary school for love. those of us who do not learn how to love among family are expected to experience love in romantic relationships. however this love often eludes us.
