Dame Rebecca West
Women's Voices: Quotations by Women
Quote collection assembled by Jone Johnson Lewis
Quotation: I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
Quotation: There is no such thing as conversation. It is an illusion. There are interesting monologues, that is all.
Quotation: Motherhood is neither a duty nor a privilege, but simply the way that humanity can satisfy the desire for physical immortality and triumph over the fear of death.
Quotation: Journalism is the ability to meet the challenge of filling space.
