Kim Wilkins
“Some say that man is evil or wicked, but I hold that man may at least be reasoned with, where wolves or blizzards or falling trees are invariably unheeding of entreaties.”
― Kim Wilkins, The Infernal

Camille Paglia
“To sneer at religion is a hallmark of the perpetual adolescent.”
― Camille Paglia

Germaine Greer
“Energy is the power that drives every human being. It is not lost by exertion but maintained by it, for it is a faculty of the psyche.
It is driven to perverted manifestations by curbs and checks. Like the motive force that drives the car along the highway, when it meets with an obstacle it turns to destructive force and shakes its source to pieces. It is not too hard to point out to the averagely perceptive human being that women have plenty of the destructive kind of energy, but far fewer people can see that women's destructiveness is creativity turned in upon itself by constant frustration. Nervous diseases, painful menstruation, unwanted pregnancies, accidents of all kinds, are all evidence of women's energy destroying them. It extends beyond them wreaking havoc with the personalities and achievements of others, especially their husbands and their children. That is not to say that women must hate all their relatives, but that if children are presented to women as a duty and marriage as an inescapable yoke, then the more energy they have the more they will fret and chafe, tearing themselves and their dependants to pieces.”
― Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

Kim Wilkins
“But there is no evil, there is no good. There are only infinite random variables, chaotic energy that flows every which way at once, a universe that stretches on beyond the limits of its own imagination.”
― Kim Wilkins, The Infernal

“It is the "law of the Great Below", the law of reality - things as they are - the natural law which is pre-ethical, often fearsome, always preceding the superego judgments of the patriarchy and often of what we would wish.”
― Sylvia Brinton Perera, Descent to the Goddess: A Way of Initiation for Women
