“The curse of modern times is the preponderance of male hormones in places where they can do long-term damage. Even if were not talking about wars between nations or assaults on nature, there's still that aggressiveness that keeps us apart from each other and the problems we need to be working on.”

“The curse of mortality. You spend the first portion of your life learning, growing stronger, more capable. And then, through no fault of your own, your body begins to fail. You regress. Strong limbs become feeble, keen senses grow dull, hardy constitutions deteriorate. Beauty withers. Organs quit. You remember yourself in your prime, and wonder where that person went. As your wisdom and experience are peaking, your traitorous body becomes a prison.”

“The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.”

“The curse on Satan was that his representative (the serpent) would physically crawl on the earth, but the greater curse was enmity between Satan and the woman. She will have an offspring who will defeat him (most importantly, his power) permanently. So, it stands to reason that Satan wants to get every culture to oppress women because she is his mortal enemy according to God. Man is also Satan’s enemy, but there is a peculiar emphasis on the enmity between Satan and woman. I think this is worth noting and returning to as we will see the mind-bending, horrific assaults on the shared dominion and personhood of women by not only the world, but by religious people. Satan loves power. He hates that humans were given power over the earth and does all that he can to usurp it. His first move against humans was to tempt them to sin and I believe his second move was to displace the woman’s co-dominion with the man.”

“The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength -each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving. It is even more deceptive to dream of gaining through the child a plenitude, a warmth, a value, which one is unable to create for oneself; the child brings joy only to the woman who is capable of disinterestedly desiring the happiness of another, to one who without being wrapped up in self seeks to transcend her own existence.”
