Millett

Famous quotes containing the word millett:

    You may well ask how I expect to assert my privacy by resorting to the outrageous publicity of being one’s actual self on paper. There’s a possibility of it working if one chooses the terms, to wit: outshouting image-gimmick America through a quietly desperate search for self.
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    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.
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others’. Stop being afraid of the mind itself, its astonishing functions and fandangos, its complications and simplifications, the wonderful operation of its machinery—more wonderful because it is not machinery at all or predictable.
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)
