We move away from only the binary boxes of "masculine" or "feminine" and begin to live along the full human continuum of identity and expression.

I believe that art has incredible power.

I don't like debates anyway. I have never debated anyone, I think they're a very masculine form - like an intellectual prizefight. They let you know who the better debater is but they don't really tell you about the issue. It's all heat, but no light.

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

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government.

Most of us are living out the unlived lives of our mothers, because they were not able to become the unique people they were born to be.

It's endlessly interesting to be organizing and hearing possible solutions or thinking of possible solutions and how to put efforts together. It makes everything else boring, actually.
