What women have to stand on squarely is not their ability to see the world in the way men see it, but the importance and validity of their seeing it in some other way.

When you have birds you stare at them a lot and their eyes are recessed on their head. When they look at something they tilt their head in a quizzical expression.

If there's a woman who is exhibiting her femininity or performing her femininity, it's always seen as meant to pull in the male gaze.

Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.

Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves.

Turkeys, quails, and small birds, are here to be seen; but birds are not numerous in desart forests; they draw near to the habitations of men, as I have constantly observed in all my travels.

A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.

The ears of men are lesser agents of belief than their eyes.

Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other, because they don't see it - but there is.

Animal vision - including human vision - is so biased toward movement that we don't technically see stationary objects at all.
