If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed. If women can supply no counterbalance to the blindness of male drive the aggressive society will run to its lunatic extremes at ever-escalating speed. Who will safeguard the despised animal faculties of compassion, empathy, innocence and sensuality?

If female liberation is to happen, if the reservoir of real female love is to be tapped, this sterile self-deception must be counteracted. The only literary form which could outsell romantic trash on the female market is hard-core pornography.

All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.

There have been women in the past far more daring than we would need to be now, who ventured all and gained a little, but survived after all.

Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.

Status ought not to be measured by a woman's ability to attract and snare a man.

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
