“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms?

—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 29:18.
