I began to understand with a terrible sureness that we teach what we need to learn and write what we need to know.

At my age, in this still hierarchical time, people often ask me if I’m “passing the torch.” I explain that I’m keeping my torch, thank you very much-and I’m using it to light the torches of others.

One of the main problems of our time is that men are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called feminine, and women are deprived of their human qualities that are wrongly called masculine.

If we're isolated, we come to feel powerless when we're not.

Women have always been an equal part of the past. We just havent been a part of history.

If what's inside your dreams wasn't already real inside you, you couldn't even dream it.

We need to stop raising boys to think that they need to prove their masculinity by being controlling or by not showing emotion or by not being little girls.
