“I am the sea and nobody owns me.”

“I am done wearing clothes to make other people feel comfortable at the expense of my womanhood.”

“She is a beautiful, powerful badass woman who sometimes falls apart inside after she drops her bags by the door and tosses her stilettos. Her vulnerability at night helps her to rise stronger in the morning.”

“I twist and pin my hair at the nape of my neck, and then stand with legs wide. It’s what Nash told me to do before speaking because men, no matter how many times they profess women are equal, prefer to take direction from bodies like theirs.”

“To cherish my purity and set boundaries are, in my opinion, the highest forms of feminism—a woman who saves her body proves she is strong and secure enough to resist the men who seek to claim her, that she’s more than what lies between her legs.”

“Some women do not masturbate for pleasure; they masturbate to make a political statement: to remind us that women do not really need men (or at least not as much and as frequently as every single male chauvinist and every single misogynist believes).”

“Worth to worst!Her story ended”

“Women who focus on style over substance usually find themselves in a big fucking hole, with other men who want to fuck the hole. Oh so smooth, and none sophistacted. Because, you know, how sophisticated can hole-fucking really be”

“When you grow up as a girl, it is like there are faint chalk lines traced approximately three inches around your entire body at all times, drawn by society and often religion and family and particularly other women, who somehow feel invested in how you behave, as if your actions reflect directly on all womanhood.”

“Glass ceilings can’t stop me.Glass slippers don’t interest me.Glass mirrors don’t define me.I decide who I willor I will not be.And I choose to beunbreakableuntakeableunshakeableme.”

“Don’t make yourself small.Not for anyone.If someone tells you you’re too much…too loud, too sensitive, too fierce, too caring, too intellectual, too optimistic, too realistic, too logical, too emotional…just smile and move on, my friend.Clearly, they aren’t enough for you.”

“He – and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly.”

“But as the years went on, I realised that what I really want to be, all told, is a human. Just a productive, honest, courteously treated human.”

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man’s injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man’s superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?”[To the Women of India (Young India, Oct. 4, 1930)]”
