"The Adequate Protest demands far more than protests. It calls for Great and Daring Leaps of Integrity and Courage to See."

"Work is a substitute religious experience for many workaholics."

"Women have had the power of naming stolen from us."

"Almost everything has been stolen from us by the patriarchy. Our creativity has been stolen, our creative energies, our religion. I want it back."

"Work is a substitute "religious" experience for many workaholics."

"Courage to be is the key to revelatory power of the feminist revolution."

"...the essential task of feminism is not to go looking around for a ready-made theory and then try to make it relevant to our (little?) "issue" or "problem". This is self-depreciating in the extreme, a fact that is obvious if one realises that feminism is cosmic in its dimensions."

"The word ‘sin’ is derived from the Indo-European root ‘es-,’ meaning ‘to be.’ When I discovered this etymology, I intuitively understood that for a [person] trapped in patriarchy, which is the religion of the entire planet, ‘to be’ in the fullest sense is ‘to sin'."
