My goal in life is to change the entire social and economic structure of western civilization, to make it a feminist world.

It's strange how men feel they have the right to criticize a woman's appearance to her face.

I believe that all human beings are equal. I believe that no one has the right to authority over anyone else.

rain is one thing the British do better than anybody else.

My feelings about men are the result of my experience. I have little sympathy for them. Like a Jew just released from Dachau, I watch the handsome young Nazi soldier fall writhing to the ground with a bullet in his stomach and I look briefly and walk on. I don’t even need to shrug. I simply don’t care. What he was, as a person, I mean, what his shames and yearnings were, simply don’t matter.

Control over a woman is the only form of dominance most men possess, for most men are merely subjects of more powerful men.

Survival is an art. It requires the dulling of the mind and the senses, and a delicate attunement to waiting, without insisting on precision about just what it is you are waiting for.
