Women's Liberation calls it enslavement but the real truth about the sexual revolution is that it has made of sex an almost chaoti...cally limitless and therefore unmanageable realm in the life of women.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A car crash harnesses elements of eroticism, aggression, desire, speed, drama, kinaesthetic factors, the stylizing of motion, cons...umer goods, status--all these in one event. I myself see the car crash as a tremendous sexual event really: a liberation of human and machine libido (if there is such a thing).LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Terrorism is an intolerant reaction to the hypertolerance of our societies, just as rape may be an intolerance of our boundless se...xual tolerance (paradoxically, the number of rapes increases with the degree of sexual liberation). It is second-generation violence--a reaction to the absence of violence. The same is true of the second-generation illnesses (cancer); they are a reaction to the hyperprotection of our bodies. When a woman turns off all signals of pleasure in your arms and leaves you no other solution but a disenchanted rape, no phantasy is of any use. But the same applies when her sexual demand is so great as to leave no room even for the illusion of rape.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Women have entered the work force . . . partly to express their feelings of self-worth . . . partly because today many families wo...uld not survive without two incomes, partly because they are not at all sure their marriages will last.

It is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theater. Our theater must stimulate a desire for und...erstanding, a delight in changing reality. Our audience must experience not only the ways to free Prometheus, but be schooled in the very desire to free him. Theater must teach all the pleasures and joys of discovery, all the feelings of triumph associated with liberation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
At no previous period has mankind been faced by a half-century which so paradoxically united violence and progress. Its greater an...d lesser wars and long series of major assassinations have been strangely combined with the liberation of more societies and individuals than ever before in history, and by the transformation of millions of second-class citizens--women, workers and the members of subject races--to a stage at which first-rate achievement is no longer inhibited even if opportunities are not yet complete.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It's not greed and ambition that makes wars--it's goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reasons, for liberation or mani...fest destiny, always against tyranny and always in the best interests of humanity. So far this war, we've managed to butcher some 10,000,000 people in the interest of humanity. The next war, it seems we'll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The ultra-right would have us believe that families are in trouble because of humanism, feminism, secular education, or sexual lib...eration, but the consensus of Americans is that what tears families apart is unemployment, inflation, and financial worries.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
