This is how psychiatry has functioned-as a kind of property arm of the government, who can put you away if your husband doesn't like you.

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.

My sister said, You're making it hard for all us housewives in Nebraska.

Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.

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.

The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.

I saw hell. The hospital had divided and conquered pretty successfully.

What is the natural reaction when told you have a hopeless mental illness? That diagnosis does you in; that, and the humiliation of being there. I mean, the indignity you're subjected to. My God.

Psychiatry causes so much death.

This country is becoming increasingly authoritarian. It's based on capital punishment.

They are more beautiful than anything in the world, kinetic sculptures, perfect form in motion.

We are women. We are a subject people who have inherited an alien culture.

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.

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 You could see that these people had withdrawn so far that they just lived in their own minds.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.

It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way.

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.

You won't do any more housework? Then you go to the bin.

Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard.

Mother had committed me for life. This is where I felt betrayed the most.

Isn't privacy about keeping taboos in their place?

As women, we're probably more protective of children. Also, we've been minors all of our history.

I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.

I'm slammed with an identity that can no longer say a word; mute with responsibility.

What is the future of the woman's movement? How in the hell do I know? I don't run it.

Bambi has a profound effect on children because it's about losing your mother.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.

I'm not up on today's television for children, because it's mostly cartoons that don't seem to interest me.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

Fiction came quite a while later. I began with short stories and fiction for children.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.
