Eve Ensler Quotes

The only point of having power it seems to me is to empower others. The only point of leadership is to inspire Picture Quote #1

Give voice to what you know to be true, and do not be afraid of being disliked or exiled. I think that’s the hard work of standing up for what you see Picture Quote #1

You know I think so many of us live outside our bodies. My dream is that people will find a way back home, into their bodies, to connect with the earth, to connect with each other, to connect with the poor, to connect with the broken, to connect with the needy, to connect with people calling out all around us, to connect with the beauty, poetry, the wildness Picture Quote #1

The verb that’s been enforced on girls is to please. Girls are trained to please... I want us all to change the verb. I want the verb to be educate, or activate, or engage, or confront, or defy, or create Picture Quote #1

Security is elusive. It’s impossible. We all die. We all get old. We all get sick. People leave us. People change us. Nothing is secure Picture Quote #1

The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure Picture Quote #1

Money doesn’t make you special, it makes you lucky. Be generous, be crazy, be outrageous Picture Quote #1

An activist is someone who cannot help but fight for something. That person is not usually motivated by a need for power or money or fame, but in fact is driven slightly mad by some injustice, some cruelty, some unfairness, so much so that he or she is compelled by some internal moral engine to act to make it better Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that we spend an inordinate amount of time and attention on fixing ourselves when we could really be directing that out to serving others Picture Quote #1

When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet Picture Quote #1

You have to give to the world the thing that you want the most, in order to fix the broken parts inside you Picture Quote #1

It seems to me there’s this tyranny that’s not accidental or incidental, to make women feel compelled to look like somebody they’re not. I think the effort is being made to get us to turn our time and attention to this instead of important political issues Picture Quote #1

Good is towing the line, being behaved, being quiet, being passive, fitting in, being liked, and great is being messy, having a belly, speaking your mind, standing up for what you believe in, fighting for another paradigm, not letting people talk you out of what you know to be true Picture Quote #1

I bet you’re worried. I was worried. I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried that we don’t think about them Picture Quote #1

…find freedom, aliveness, and power not from what contains, locates, or protects us, but from what dissolves, reveals, and expands us Picture Quote #1

... to speak of them out loud, to speak of their hunger and pain and loneliness and humour, to make them visible so that can not be ravaged in the dark without great consequence Picture Quote #1

Looking at it, I started crying. Maybe it was knowing that I had to give up the fantasy, the enormous life consuming fantasy, that someone or something was going to do this for me – the fantasy that someone was coming to lead my life, to choose direction, to give me orgasms Picture Quote #1

I’m in good shape. My cancer means I have lost a lot of organs and I’m a lot lighter. I have devoted myself to yoga and I’m doing handstands Picture Quote #1

I think the greatest illusion we have is that denial protects us. It’s actually the biggest distortion and lie. In fact, staying asleep is what’s killing us Picture Quote #1

I think we need to teach pleasure. What beautiful touch means. What reciprocity means. What being connected and what intimacy means. Boys get out there at a young age and the performance posturing is so great and ends up being hard and aggressive Picture Quote #1

I’m feeling a kind of liberty to write about what’s interesting to me without worrying about what I should be writing about. And that feels good Picture Quote #1

Cancer was the most terrifying, arduous, painful thing, but it was also a profound gift in the sense that I was holding so much in my body for so many years that was dark and terrifying which was preventing my coming back into myself Picture Quote #1

I think that anytime you get clear about what your mission is or what your focus wants to be, things start to come together in your life Picture Quote #1

Once you are diagnosed with cancer, time changes. It both speeds up insanely and stops altogether Picture Quote #1

Writing and giving voice to what I am feeling makes me happy. And supporting people in finding their voice, passion, outrage and resistance. There is nothing better than that Picture Quote #1

I think the thing that has always made me happy is being in the struggle, in a community of struggle with other people Picture Quote #1

What I have found is that even when you try to transform existing structures they are so powerful they often overwhelm, seduce, and control you Picture Quote #1

I believe in fierce love, pushing the edge, calling the robbers, the corporates, the elites, the pillagers and insanely wealthy to task, going whatever distance we need to go now to protect our earth and each other Picture Quote #1

Why don’t we bring everyone up to be caring and compassionate, to believe that we are connected with everyone and everything around us? Picture Quote #1

Why don’t we teach sex the way we teach math or history? It is such a deeply crucial and healing part of life and we offer no road map. I think it is core to ending violence Picture Quote #1
