• Al igual que el objetivo final de la revolución socialista no era sólo la eliminación del privilegio de clase económica, sino de la propia distinción de clase económica, el objetivo final de la revolución feminista debe ser, ... no sólo la eliminación del privilegio masculino, sino de la propia distinción de sexo; las diferencias genitales entre los seres humanos ya no importarían culturalmente.

• En mi caso, tuve que entrenarme para dejar de sonreír falsamente, que es como un tic nervioso en todas las adolescentes. Y esto significaba que sonreía poco, porque en realidad, cuando se trataba de sonreír de verdad, tenía menos por lo que sonreír. Mi acción "soñada" para el movimiento de liberación de la mujer: un boicot de la sonrisa, en cuya declaración todas las mujeres abandonarían instantáneamente sus sonrisas "agradables", sonriendo en adelante sólo cuando algo les complaciera.

• Men are thinking, writing, and creating, because women were pouring their energy into those men; women are not creating culture because they are occupied with love.

• Feminists have to question, not just all of Western culture, but the organization of culture itself, and further, even the very organization of nature. Many women give up in despair: if that's how deep it goes they don't want to know.

• The 'natural' is not necessarily a 'human' value. Humanity has begun to transcend nature: we can no longer justify the maintenance of a discriminatory sex class system on grounds of its origins in nature. Indeed, for pragmatic reasons alone it is beginning to look as if we must get rid of it.

• The classic trap for any revolutionary is always, “What's your alternative?” But even if you could provide the interrogator with a blueprint, this does not mean he would use it: in most cases he is not sincere in wanting to know. In fact this is a common offensive, a technique to reflect revolutionary anger and turn it against itself. Moreover, the oppressed have no job to convince all people. All they need know is that the present system is destroying them.

• We should keep in mind that Revolutions anywhere are always glad to use any help they can get, even from women. But unless women also use the Revolution to further their own interests as well as everyone else's, unless they make it consistently clear that all help given now is expected to be returned, both now and after the Revolution, they will be sold out again and again.
