Andrea Dworkin
“I love the literature that these men created; but I will not live my life as if they are real and I am not. Nor will I tolerate the continuing assumption that they know more about women than we know about ourselves.”
Andrea Dworkin, Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin

“If we believe the Canon is closed and Scripture is sufficient, then we believe God is not speaking new words apart from Scripture.”
Dan Phillips
