Quote by Andrea Dworkin
Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women

Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized. – Andrea Dworkin

Other quotes by Andrea Dworkin

As long as there is rape… there is not going to be any peace or justice or equality or freedom. You are not going to become what you want to become or who you want to become. You are not going to live in the world you want to live in. – Andrea Dworkin
