Quote by Susan Sontag

“The first responsibility of a "liberated" woman is to lead the fullest, freest, and most imaginative life she can. The second responsibility is her solidarity with other women. She may life and work and make love with men.

It's as important to me as eating healthy or getting exercise.”
