Adrienne Rich

When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.

The moment of change is the only poem.

False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

I didn't want to be known. People say, 'I didn't want to toil in obscurity.' I like toiling in obscurity.

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.
