“I don’t like calling myself a “feminist” only because I don’t think I’ve done anything active enough to call myself one. It’d be like calling myself a civil rights activist just because I’m not racist.”

With knowledge, our creation can go in any direction – from the worst kind of drama, to the most beautiful dream. Then the best way to express our creativity is with love and awareness of what we really are.

We never stop to consider that our beliefs are only a relative truth that’s always going to be distorted by all the knowledge we have stored in our memory.

We were born in this society, we grew up in this society. And we learn to be like everyone else, playing nonsense all the time.

Everything you think about yourself, everything you believe about yourself, is because you learned it.

It is always better to ask then to make an assumption.

If you are not afriad, thereis no way you will get mad at me. If you are not afraid, there is no way you will hate me. If you are not afraid, there is no way you will be jealous or sad.

What you will see is love coming out of the trees, love coming out of the sky, love coming out of the light. You will perceive love from everything around you. This is the state of bliss.

The action is what makes the dreams come true. Always do your best. The dream that you have becomes real when you take the action. If you dont take the action whatever is in your head … will dissolve and you will forget about it

Nobody abuses us more than we abuse ourselves.

Being impeccable with your word is the correct use of your energy; it means to use your energy in the direction of truth and love for yourself.

All my book are my favorites.

We make the assumption that everyone sees life the way we do

Every prayer is an agreement with yourself.

The real us is pure love, pure light

In our development, as we grow throughout our lives, the structure of our beliefs becomes very complicated, and we make it even more complicated because we make the assumption that what we believe is the absolute truth.

There is nothing to do except to be just who you are. You have the right to feel beautiful and enjoy it.

Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women’s liberation… none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.

One of the greatest gifts of Black feminism to ourselves has been to make it a little easier simply to be Black and female.

Feminists have not tried to “destroy the family”. We just thought the family was such a good idea that men might want to get involved in it too.

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.
