Being Yourself Feminist Get Away

More From Liz Phair

I consider myself 100 percent a feminist, at odds with the feminist establishment in america. for me the great mission of feminism is to seek the full political and legal equality of women with men. however, i disagree with many of my fellow feminists as an equal opportunity feminist, who believes that feminism should only be interested in equal rights before the law. i utterly oppose special protection for women where i think that a lot of the feminist establishment has drifted in the last 20 years.

I don't know that i could really define love. i can't . . . again, it's like trying to define what this creative force is. it's beyond my ability to really define. if i can define it, then it's not it. we're right back to that thing again.

Naturally my stories are about women - i'm a woman. i don't know what the term is for men who write mostly about men. i'm not always sure what is meant by "feminist." in the beginning i used to say, well, of course i'm a feminist. but if it means that i follow a kind of feminist theory, or know anything about it, then i'm not. i think i'm a feminist as far as thinking that the experience of women is important. that is really the basis of feminism.

Come away with in the night come away with me and i will sing you a song come away with me on a bus come away where they can't tempt us with there lies i want to walk with you on a cloudy day in fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high so won't you try to come come away with me and we'll kiss on a mountain top come away with me and i'll never stop loving you and i want to wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof while i'm safe there in your arms so all i ask is for you to come away with me in the night come away with me.

The reason why i do not know anything about myself, the reason why siddhartha has remained alien and unknown to myself is due to one thing, to one single thing--i was afraid of myself, i was fleeing from myself. i was seeking atman, i was seeking brahman, i was determined to dismember myself and tear away its layers of husk in order to find in its unknown innermost recess the kernel at the heart of those layers, the atman, life, the divine principle, the ultimate. but in so doing, i was losing myself.

You must make a daily effort to look upon others without condemnation. every judgment takes you away from your goal of peace. your ego loves your judgments, because with them you remain in a constant state of anguish and remorse. keep in mind that you do not define anyone with your judgment; you only define yourself as someone who needs to be judged.

Similar Quotes

Shame is the feeling you have when you agree with the woman who loves you that you are the man she thinks you are.

You, darkness, of whom i am born- i love you more than the flame that limits the world to the circle it illumines and excludes the rest.

Someone once told me not to be afraid of being afraid, because, as she said, 'anxiety is a glimpse of your own daring.' isn't that great? it means that part of your agitation is just excitement about what you're getting ready to accomplish. don't sell yourself short by being so afraid of failure that you don't dare to make any mistakes. make your mistakes and learn from them. and remember: no matter how many mistakes you make, your mother always loves you!

Of course, 'i will always love you' is the biggest song so far in my career. i'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, i think, than all of them. but that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
