I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish. (Alice Walker)

Our culture has a universal myth in which we see emotion as more complex and obscure than intellect.

Words are mighty, words are living: Serpents with their venomous stings, Or bright angels, crowding round us, With heaven's light upon their wings: Every word has its own spirit, True or false, that never dies; Every word man's lips have uttered Echoes in God's skies. View quote

The New Women I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself . . . . They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be they are what I worked for them to be and now I see them, I hate them. View quote
