Quote by Alice Miller

“A mother cannot truly respect her child as long as she does not realize what deep shame she causes him with an ironic remark, intended only to cover her own uncertainty. Indeed, she cannot be aware of how deeply humiliated, despised, and devalued her child feels, if she herself has never consciously suffered these feelings, and if she tries to fend them off with irony.”

“HER BODY --- The body of a woman belongs only to her, and not to any man. Her curves, thighs, and lips are all hers — From head to toes, and hips. Her clothes are not for his will. And are not a solicitation. What she adorns her body with is not an invitation. It's simple — her body, her choice. He ought to listen to the society's voice.”

“We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings. For the demands of our released expectations lead us inevitably into actions which will help bring our lives into accordance with our needs, our knowledge, our desires. And the fear of our deepest cravings keeps them suspect, keeps us docile and loyal and obedient, and leads us to settle for or accept many facets of our oppression as women.”
