“एक पुरुष पचास स्त्रियों से प्रेम करता फिरता है, उसे तुम्हारा समाज कुछ नहीं कहता? एक स्त्री अगर अकेली, सम्मान से जीना चाहती है तो उसके चारों तरफ़ गिद्ध नोच खाने को तैयार रहते हैं।”
Usha Priyamvada, प्रतिनिधि कहानियाँ : उषा प्रियंवदा

“एक नाटक देखा था, जो बहुत पसन्द आया : ‘छोटी मछली, बड़ी मछली,’ जिसमें बड़ी मछली छोटी मछलियों को निगलती रहती है। तब से कभी-कभी सोचती हूँ कि क्या छोटी मछली उलटकर वार भी नहीं कर सकती?”
Usha Priyamvada, प्रतिनिधि कहानियाँ : उषा प्रियंवदा

“आधुनिक जीवन की यह एक बड़ी विडंबना है कि जो हम नहीं चाहते वही करने को विवश हैं.”
