To reclaim our past and insist that it become a part of our human history is the task that lies before us. For the future requires that women, as well as men, shape the world destiny.

Remember our heritage is our power; we can know ourselves and our capacities by seeing that other women have been strong.

People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.

Do I even think about myself as a woman when I go to make art? Of course not.

I am trying to make art that relates to the deepest and most mythic concerns of human kind and I believe that, at this moment of history, feminism is humanism.

I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history

In the beginning, the feminine principle was seen as the fundamental cosmic force. All ancient peoples believed that the world was created by a female Diety.

I think what's important is to give space to the range of human experience.

So women are at the beginning of building a language, and not all women are conscious of it.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And thats definitely changed.

The harbour of influence is richer in the cemeteries where people are buried with their music on their tongues unsung. Don't leave your potentials untouched!

It's why I went into teaching in the first place. I like the sound of my own voice. Well that, and I am addicted to the smell of chalk and white-board markers.

Many a fervid man writes books as cold and flat as graveyard stones.

I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that.

Thanks to the internet, I buy lots of music, but thanks to my easily distracted nature, I forget about half of it!

Every dollar that is printed should not represent a debt to private bankers. It should represent an investment potential in the common good, in the common needs of our country.

I'm increasingly less interested in classic storylines and that arc that we have come to expect.

So long as man resists a situation, he will have it with him.

I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment. But I think I have a First Amendment right not to be shot.

But I will be, A bridegroom in my death, and run into't As to a lover's bed.
