The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us

I didn’t hear words that were accurate, much less prideful. For example, I never once heard the word clitoris. It would be years before I learned that females possessed the only organ in the human body with no function than to feel pleasure. (If such an organ were unique to the male body, can you imagine how much we would hear about it—and what it would be used to justify?)

Men may feel just disempowered by intimacy, by being close to a woman, and also by feeling the tender feelings that they're ashamed of.

We're changing ourselves to fit the world instead of changing the world to fit women.

A movement happens when people are inspired by somebody, but they do it themselves. You don't wait for someone else. You do it yourself.

The ends and means are a seamless web.

Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change.
