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

Alessandra Torre
“I hate society’s notion that there is something wrong with sex. Something wrong with a woman who loves sex.”
Alessandra Torre

Caitlin Moran
“And the question is always "When are you going to have kids?" Rather than "Do you want to have kids?”
Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

Margaret Cho
“He must have been mad, because when things happen to women, we are supposed to remain silent. Our shame should make us want to act like nothing happened, maintain the decorum. I refuse to be silent, therefore I become some sort of criminal.
I think if we told our stories and said out loud what has happened to us, to warn other women, to comfort those who have had the same things happen to them, to show that we are not alone, the world would suddenly become a bigger and better place.”
Margaret Cho, I'm the One That I Want

Lilian Jackson Braun
“Mickey Maus,” William was saying, “is a nut about butter. The only time he ever lost his cool was when we were having a small brunch and we were down to our last three pounds of butter. He panicked.”
Lilian Jackson Braun, The Cat Who Saw Red
