Quote by Pradyumna Kumar Tiwari

“सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सत्य यह है कि स्त्री स्वयंवर में जीती जाने वाली कोई ‘वस्तु’ नहीं है। प्रतियोगिताएँ तो मात्र आधार हैं। यदि राजकुमारी ने पहले ही अपने मन में किसी का वरण कर लिया है, तो भी हमें उनकी इच्छा का सम्मान करना चाहिए। विवाह एक व्यक्तिगत निर्णय है, न कि किसी कौशल अथवा शक्ति-प्रदर्शन का पुरस्कार!”

“Granted;—but would you use the same argument with regard to a girl?’ ‘Certainly not.’ ‘No; you would have her to be tenderly and delicately nurtured, like a hothouse plant—taught to cling to others for direction and support, and guarded, as much as possible, from the very knowledge of evil. But will you be so good as to inform me why you make this distinction? Is it that you think she has no virtue?”

“It is the story that makes the difference. It is the story that hid my humanity from me, the story the mammoth hunters told about bashing, thrusting, raping, killing, about the Hero. The wonderful, poisonous story of Botulism. The killer story. It sometimes seems that that story is approaching its end. Lest there be no more telling of stories at all, some of us out here in the wild oats, amid the alien corn, think we’d better start telling another one, which maybe people can go on with when the old one’s finished. Maybe. The trouble is, we’ve all let ourselves become part of the killer story, and so we may get finished along with it. Hence it is with a certain feeling of urgency that I seek the nature, subject, words of the other story, the untold one, the life story.”

“When The Woman is King (Sonnet) When the woman is king, no mother goes without leave, no dreamer goes without choice, no queer goes without dignity. In a world run by women, no gender is second gender - in a world run by the indigenous, no ethnicity is the second race. Before the human race becomes equal, first the dehumanized must reign supreme - when the woman is king, that's the last time the world will ever need a king. When the woman is king, not queen, not princess, but the absolute monarch of the kingdom of apes, that's the beginning of actual human evolution.”

“Secara singkat, aku selalu memperkenalkan diri sebagai pengarang atau novelis. Tanpa tambahan "pengarang wanita" atau "pengarang sastra" maupun mengatakan bahwa aku adalah seorang "sastrawan atau sastrawati". Aku tidak berpretensi sebagai "seorang sastrawati". Orang-orang lain, termasuk para cendekiawanlah yang mengenalkan sebutan itu terhadap diriku.”
