tree causes looks
Do you say that tree isn't pretty cause it doesn't look like that tree? We're all trees. You're a tree. I'm a tree. You've got to love your body, Eve. You've got to love your tree. Love your tree. (Leah)
giving silence charity
I despise charity. It gives crumbs to a few and silences the others.
suicidal thinking humans
I think the human species is very suicidal.
real mountain want
I want to touch you in real time not find you on YouTube, I want to walk next to you in the mountains not friend you on Facebook.
women violence mechanism
The mechanism of violence is what destroys women, controls women, diminishes women and keeps women in their so-called place.
men thinking body
I think all my work's been about how do women get back into our bodies; how do men get back. We're all disassociated.
thinking nuclear fukushima
I think we have to get bolder. Why after Fukushima didn't we all go out and shut down all the nuclear power plants and stay there until it happened?
people afraid-to-love
People are more afraid to love than they are to kill.
pain loneliness dark
...to speak of them out loud, to speak of their hunger and pain and loneliness and humour, to make them visible so that can not be ravaged in the dark without great consequence.
judging body end-of-the-world
When I wrote 'The Good Body,' I turned 40 and suddenly had this stomach. It seemed like the end of the world. Because I didn't value my body. I was constantly judging it, but I also didn't live in it.
sex healing thinking
I think about Marvin Gaye and 'Sexual Healing.' What a radical idea that sex was healing. I learned my politics through that music.
thinking worried
I bet you're worried. I was worried. I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried that we don't think about them.
doe geography geography-teachers
Geography does not define you - love does.
lying thinking denial
I think the greatest illusion we have is that denial protects us. It's actually the biggest distortion and lie. In fact, staying asleep is what's killing us.
