“I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the anti-war movement better than I did.”

I don’t feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily–obviously not completely–moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.

Even in my most inflamed moment I never supported a racist mass murderer.

There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.

Freaks are revolutionaries, and revolutionaries are freaks

You’re always trying to balance your understanding of who you are and what you need, and your longing and imaginings of freedom.

I guess I feel very strongly that I disagree with the notion of personalizing history and movements and big events.

I don’t come from a privileged background.

I think that there is a lot going on with young people today.

The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent, encourage going along, and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable… those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

I felt grand juries were illegal and coercive.

The real terrorist is the American government, state terrorism unleashed against the world.

I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture,

This tendency to consider only bombings or picking up the gun as revolutionary, with the glorification of the heavier the better,we’ve called the military error.

The ’60s are presented to kids today as a commodity.

I’m so unhappy with electoral politics that I switched to sports radio.

The feminist anti-pornography movement, no less than the feminist movement of a century ago, encourages the assumption that male and female sexuality, and possibly morality, are as unlike as yin and yang.

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

Why is it that only girls stand on the sides of their feet? As if they’re afraid to plant themselves?

There may be women to emerge who will be able to formulate a new and possible concept that homosexual persecution and condemnation has at its roots not only social ignorance, but a philosophically active anti-feminist dogma.

The greatest feminists have also been the greatest lovers. I’m thinking not only of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley, but of Anais Nin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of course Sappho.

Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.

The pitfall of the feminist is the belief that the interests of men and women can ever be severed; that what brings sufferings to the one can leave the other unscathed.

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.
