„A Woman in harmony with her spiritis like a river flowing.She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destinationprepared to be herselfand only herself“

— Maya Angelou
„Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.“
— Andrea Dworkin
