Virginia Woolf
“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
“Through it [literature] we know the past, govern the present, and influence the future.”
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Man-Made World

Dale Spender
“Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions, for safety in the streets, for child care, for social welfare, for rape crisis centres, women's refuges, reforms in the law. If someone says, 'Oh, I'm not a feminist', I ask, 'Why? What's your problem?”
Dale Spender, Man Made Language

Marge Piercy
“I want to do something very important. Like fly into the past and make it come out right.”
Marge Piercy, Woman on the Edge of Time

Jonathan Safran Foer
“Whether we change our lives or do nothing, we have responded. To do nothing is to do something.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals
