“When a child who has been conceived in love is born to a man and a woman, the joy of that birth sings throughout the universe.”

“Woman throughout the ages has been mistress to the law, as man has been its master.”

“How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring?”

“Man can never know the kind of loneliness a woman knows. Man lies in a woman's womb only to gather strength, he nourishes himself from this fusion, and then he rises and goes into the world, into his work, into battle, into art. He is not lonely. He is busy. The memory of the swim in amniotic fluid gives him energy, completion. The woman may be busy too, but she feels empty. Sensuality for her is not only a wave of pleasure in which he has bathed, and a charge of electric joy at contact with another. When man lies in her womb, she is fulfilled, each act of love is a taking of man within her, and act of birth and rebirth, of child bearing and man bearing. Man lies in her womb and is reborn each time anew with a desire to act, to BE. But for a woman, the climax is not in the birth, but in the moment when man rests inside of her.”

“Ordering a man to write a poem is like commanding a pregnant woman to give birth to a red-haired child.”

“you're my first born child, and the person who first showed me the miracle of this love a mother has for her child.”

“The narcissistic, the domineering, the possessive woman can succeed in being a "loving” mother as long as the child is small. Only the really loving woman, the woman who is happier in giving than in taking, who is firmly rooted in her own existence, can be a loving mother when the child is in the process of separation.”

“How can a bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?”

“On the laugh of a child I am borne to the joy of the King.”

“It is a vulgar error that love, a love, to Woman is her whole existence; she also is born for Truth and Love in their universal energy.”
