― Joanna Russ, The Female Man

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

“If we are not given the option to live without violence, we are given the choice to center our meals around harvest or slaughter, husbandry or war. We have chosen slaughter. We have chosen war. That's the truest version of our story of eating animals.

― Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals

“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
