“Volere è potere, dice il proverbio, ma alle donne si lascia credere che il loro potere sia invece quello di essere volute. È un inganno: desiderare ti rende soggetto attivo e ti educa a scegliere, invece che a essere scelta. Chi desidera comanda. Dire sempre «desiderami» e mai «io desidero» è un cammino di de-formazione, perché chi può solo essere desiderabile sacrificherà la propria forma per prendere quella che pensa sarà piú desiderata, condannandosi a esistere solo come conseguenza dello sguardo di altri.”

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
