If you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting your own menstrual blood - if it makes you sick, you've got a long way to go, baby.

The occupational hazard of being a Playboy Bunny is the aching facial muscles brought on by obligatory smiles.

Marriage cannot be a job as it has become.

It [childbearing] was never intended to be as time-consuming and self-conscious a process as it is. One of the deepest evils in our society is tyrannical nurturance.

...the consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over. Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.

Liberty is terrifying but it is also exhilarating.

Psychologists cannot fix the world so they fix women.

A housewife's work has no results: it simply has to be done again. Bringing up children is not a real occupation, because children come up just the same, brought up or not.

Men are the enemy in much the same way that some crazed boy in uniform was the enemy of another like him in most respects except the uniform. One possible tactic is to try to get the uniforms off.

It is agreed that 'girls take more bringing up' than boys: what that really means is that girls must be more relentlessly supervised and repressed if the desired result is to ensue.

We are what God has made us.

This, explained the angel, is hell. The people do not love each other. They only want to feed themselves.

I am a bit of a solitude person - a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don't have any major friendships or relationships with people.

All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.

I don't watch much TV or films, but I've watched Cameron Diaz.

Vanity is the most despotic and iniquitous of masters, and I can never be the slave of my own vices.

It’s not exactly that I can’t stay in one place. It’s that if I’m in one place, I have to rearrange it every four to six months! I have to completely change my room!

You weren't made to fit in. You were born to stand out!

I'm kind of the town pump. I think I have a pretty good ear for what sounds good in this style.

Smile, the worst is yet to come.
