We need to return and go forward to the understanding that there is God in all living things, not more in men than women, and not more in humans than in nature. To believe otherwise is only an excuse for dominating women and nature.

imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born.

Violence against women is clearly not solved, not at all solved, and the reasons for it, which are controlling women's bodies in order to control reproduction, are definitely not solved.

You have no choice but to live in the present, if you're really being open to events and people as they come along.

If we were going to address what involves the biggest number of women, reproductive freedom is a fundamental human right - like freedom of speech, the most basic right. Freedom from violence, since women worldwide are still like 70% at least of all victims of violence. Equality in the family, democracy in the family, since the family is the microcosm of everything else, so if you have inequality and violence in the family, it normalizes it in the street, for foreign policy, for every place else.

In the late '60s, people were saying we need power to, not power over. Power to do, accomplish, create, not power over other people.

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