I think all my work's been about how do women get back into our bodies; how do men get back. We're all disassociated.

I have been a depressed person most of m life. I was always in the throes of self-hatred.

One of the most radical things women can do is to love their body.

Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back.

When we give in the world what we want the most, we heal the broken part inside each of us.

When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.

Give voice to what you know to be true, and do not be afraid of being disliked or exiled. I think that's the hard work of standing up for what you see.

I think so much of neoliberalism and capitalism has caused people to live in a state of greed, fear and consumption that is covering up so much of what we really want.

If you are divided from your body, then you are divided from the body of the world.

You have to give to the world the thing that you want the most, in order to fix the broken parts inside you.

I don't get tired, because every time a woman doesn't die or doesn't get beaten or doesn't get raped or doesn't get honor-killed or doesn't get acid-burned, it's a huge victory.

If your family - just because they're blood doesn't mean that they necessarily give you the best advice.

I was a good student, but I didn't like school.

I ate healthily, but there was no snacking, no drinking, no bread, no sugar, no smoking. Afterwards I had a pork belly roast.

Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story.

The vast army of women seeking divorce are mainly after easy alimony from men they have ceased to love - surely one of the most despicable forms of barter that can exchange human hands.

Always believe in yourself and never give up because you don't know what success could be right around the corner.

It is a bigger miracle to be patient and refrain from anger than it is to control the demons which fly through the air.

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but the fly comes close.

Many people have the reasoning facility, but no one uses it in religious matters.

Beautiful is dangerous.
