Kate Millett Quotes

As women, we’re probably more protective of children. Also, we’ve been minors all of our history Picture Quote #1

It was horrifying. You wouldn’t believe how people are treated there. You could see that these people had withdrawn so far that they just lived in their own minds. They did terrible things to themselves Picture Quote #1

We’re more sexually repressed than men, having been given a much more strict puritanical code of behavior than men ever have Picture Quote #1

In those days, when you got boxed, that was it. A lot of old people were there because somebody wanted the farm. It was about property. People are treated like property Picture Quote #1

I’m slammed with an identity that can no longer say a word; mute with responsibility Picture Quote #1

However muted its present appearance may be, sexual dominion obtains nevertheless as perhaps the most pervasive ideology of our culture and provides its most fundamental concept of power Picture Quote #1

Everybody believes in psychiatry it’s supposed to be for our own good. Let psychiatry prove that anybody has an illness, and I’d concede, but there is no physical proof Picture Quote #1

Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being Picture Quote #1

Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard Picture Quote #1

I was supposed to be women’s lib, and now I’d exceeded it and gone over into international politics Picture Quote #1

What is our freedom fight about? Is it about the liberation of children or just having sex with them? Picture Quote #1

We are naive and moralistic women. We are human beings who find politics a blight upon the human condition. And do not know how one copes with it except through politics Picture Quote #1

The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young Picture Quote #1

The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit, since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity Picture Quote #1

With the first act of cruelty committed in the name of revolution, with the first murder, with the first purge and execution, we have lost the revolution Picture Quote #1

The image of the woman as we know it is an image created by men and fashioned to suit their needs Picture Quote #1

Coitus can scarcely be said to take place in a vacuum; although of itself it appears a biological and physical activity, it is set so deeply within the larger context of human affairs that it serves as a charged microcosm of the variety of attitudes and values to which culture subscribes. Among other things, it may serve as a model of sexual politics on an individual or personal plane Picture Quote #1

During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on? Picture Quote #1

To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. An appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return Picture Quote #1

Hell, I don’t want to grow old at all. I never want to die Picture Quote #1

In sex one wants or does not want. And the grief, the sorrow of life is that one cannot make or coerce or persuade the wanting, cannot command it, cannot request it by mail order or finagle it through bureaucratic channels Picture Quote #1

Given the conditions under which you’re a young person in this society, many things would be at least as important to you as your sexuality Picture Quote #1

The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself Picture Quote #1

The whole bloody system is sick: the very notion of leadership, a balloon with a face painted upon it, elected and inflated by media’s diabolic need to reduce ideas to personalities Picture Quote #1

Intercourse is an assertion of mastery, one that announces his own higher caste and proves it upon a victim who is expected to surrender, serve, and be satisfied Picture Quote #1

You have to be a little patient if you’re an artist. People don’t always get you the first time Picture Quote #1

One of the blessings of adulthood is that one is no longer addressed as a thing Picture Quote #1

For it is precisely because certain groups have no representation in a number of recognized political structures that their position tends to be so stable, their oppression so continuous Picture Quote #1

How crazy craziness makes everyone, how irrationally afraid. The madness hidden in each of us, called to, identified, aroused like a lust. And against that the jaw sets. The more I fear my own insanity the more I must punish yours Picture Quote #1

Mystical state, madness, how it frightens people. How utterly crazy they become, remote, rude, peculiar, cruel, taunting, farouche as wild beasts who have smelled danger, the unthinkable Picture Quote #1
