| gptkbp:quote |
Feminism is for everybody.
We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any other human being. Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books. To be in love is to be in a state of grace. Love is an action, a participatory act. The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is; it’s to imagine what is possible. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any other man. |
