"Beginning with Santa Claus as a cognitive exercise, a child is encouraged to share the same idea of reality as his peers. Even if that reality is patently invented and ludicrous, belief is encouraged with gifts that support and promote the common cultural lies. The greatest consensus in modern society is our traffic systems. The way a flood of strangers can interact, sharing a path, almost all of them traveling without incident. It only takes one dissenting driver to create anarchy."

"The part of the tradition that I knew best was mostly written (or rewritten for children) in England and northern Europe. The principal characters were men. If the story was heroic, the hero was a white man; most dark-skinned people were inferior or evil. If there was a woman in the story, she was a passive object of desire and rescue (a beautiful blond princess); active women (dark, witches) usually caused destruction or tragedy. Anyway, the stories weren't about the women. They were about men, what men did, and what was important to men."

"The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters."

Ethics

"Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers."

Woman

"Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood."

Being

"I was angry because young men in politics were treated like rising stars and young women were treated like - well - young women. {...}I was angry about the human talent that was lost just because it was born into a female body, and the mediocrity that was rewarded because it was born into a male one."

Society

"I could leave-because I could return. I could return-because I knew adventure lay just beyond an open door. Instead of either/or, I discovered a whole world of and."

Adventure

"The idea that women are 'our own worst enemies' forces us to admit that we don't have the power to be, even if we wanted too."

Society

"Inside, each of us has a purple motorcycle."

Playfulness

"It's important for someone who could play the game - and win - to say: 'the game isn't worth shit."

Insight

"It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous."

Death

"The Miss America Pageant reinforces a belief that women are merely how they look and how they please."
