“Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. resistance is the enemy within.”
“Resistance by definition is self-sabotage.”
“Identity is not inherent. It is shaped by circumstance and sensitivity and resistance to self-pity.”
“Marxism teaches that exploitation and degradation somehow produce resistance and revolution. It's been hard to say why. What I've learned from women's experience with sexuality is that exploitation and degradation produce grateful complicity in exchange for survival. They produce self-loathing to the point of extinction of self, and it is respect for self that makes resistance conceivable.”
“The enemy is Resistance.”
“It is not really a small thing when in small things we resist self.”
