I'd Discovered You Never Know Yourself Until

One Thing That Makes Art Different From Life Is That In Art Things Have A Shape... It Allows Us To Fix Our Emotions On Events At The Moment They Occur, It Permits A Union Of Heart And Mind And Tongue And Tear.

The Same Men Who Are Blind And Deaf To Feminism Are Acutely Sensitive To What Threatens Their Dominance And Privilege.

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.

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.

I Believe That All Human Beings Are Equal. I Believe That No One Has The Right To Authority Over Anyone Else.
