We have to stop this violence. we have to make the political nature of the violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it's a public and political problem. it's a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places.

More From Patricia Ireland

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

I think, we can only write very personal matters through our experience. when i named my first novel about my son "a personal matter," i believe i knew the most important thing: there is not any personal matter; we must find the link between ourselves, our "personal matter," and society.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

In the homes of america are born the children of america; and from them go out into american life, american men and women. they go out with the stamp of these homes upon them; and only as these homes are what they should be, will they be what they should be.

Take away human beings from this planet and life would go on, nature would go on in all its loveliness and violence. where would the problem be? no problem. you created the problem. you are the problem. you identified with "me" and that is the problem. the feeling is in you, not in reality.

We never know the reality of things: we see only what we are aware of. it is our consciousness that determines the shape of the world around us -- its size, motion and meaning.

Leaders must see reality as it is, not as it ought to be.

People often criticize my films for being pessimistic; there are certainly many reasons for being pessimistic but i don’t see my films that way. they’re founded in the belief that revolution doesn’t belong on the cinema screen but outside in the world. never mind if a film ends pessimistically but exposes certain mechanisms clearly enough to show people how they work and the ultimate effect is not pessimistic. my goal is to reveal such mechanisms in a way that makes people realize the necessity of changing their own reality.
