Quote by Ariel Levy

“But I would be happier if my daughter and her friends were crashing through the glass ceiling instead of the sexual ceiling,' Jong continued. 'Being able to have an orgasm with a man you don't love or having Sex and the City on television, that is not liberation. If you start to think about women as if we're all Carrie on Sex and the City, well, the problem is: You're not going to elect Carrie to the Senate or to run your company. Let's see the Senate fifty percent female; let's see women in decision-making positions--that's power. Sexual freedom can be a smokescreen for how far we haven't come.”

“Manusia adalah spesies aneh: cerdas, tetapi religius; logis, tetapi mitologis; ilmiah, tetapi mistis. Kita menyembah Tuhan dengan cara yang sama kita menyembah selebritas, teknologi, dan ideologi. Mungkin agama adalah kelemahan evolusi yang kita romantisasi sebagai kebijaksanaan. Atau sebaliknya, adaptasi yang membuat kita selamat sejauh ini, meski dengan harga darah.”
