Everybody believes in psychiatry; it's supposed to be for our own good. Let psychiatry prove that anybody has an illness, and I'd concede, but there is no physical proof.

Psychiatry causes so much death.

Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against; no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning

What is the natural reaction when told you have a hopeless mental illness? That diagnosis does you in; that, and the humiliation of being there. I mean, the indignity you're subjected to. My God.

This is how psychiatry has functioned-as a kind of property arm of the government, who can put you away if your husband doesn't like you.

I was supposed to be women's lib, and now I'd exceeded it and gone over into international politics.
