“I began to see that while equality often entailed women crossing the sexual divide between women's work and men's work, equality rarely meant that men crossed over the divide to the women's side: our side – women's – the side where work was largely, though not exclusively, unpaid or poorly paid care of dependents.”
Eva Feder Kittay, Love's Labor: Essays on Women, Equality, and Dependency

“To love, to derive joy from life, to learn the wonder of being: these are, I offer, the apotheosis of a good life, one that everyone can achieve—and one that, perhaps, even a philosopher can appreciate.”
Eva Feder Kittay, Learning from My Daughter: The Value and Care of Disabled Minds

“Joy is a man’s passage from a lesser to a greater perfection”
Eva Feder Kittay, Learning from My Daughter: The Value and Care of Disabled Minds
