flopzilla's review

5.0

"Art attempts to transform men's brutishness into men's benevolence."

"The faggots and their friends live the best while empires are falling. Since the men are always building as many empires as they can, there are always one or two falling and so one or two places for the faggots and their friends to go."

"Romantic love, the last illusion, keeps us alive until the revolutions come."

"When you feel pain fall into your brothers' love."

"The men feel secure only when they are distant from the people and making decisions for everyone. The men care less what they decide than that they alone can decide. The men never ask the people what they want. They decide what they want to decide. And then they force others to follow their orders. The men hoard power and use it continuously to make sure that they still possess it. The men hoard power and use it brutally to demonstrate that they are the men.

The faggots sneer at all this power grubbing and seek love."

"The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolu­tions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win."

"Violence has been seen in its every conceivable form. The domination of other living things has become total and so boring."

"The women, by now, know that they will win. They know that the days of the men are numbered. Life comes from the women and can go on only if they win."

"Everyone will die if the men are allowed to go on with their ways, even the men. Those who do not want to die just yet must stop them and we will."


Incredible. Must make sure all my friends have a copy

Unique, enjoyable, and above all still relevant almost half a century later.

Hopeful, essential, and unfortunately timeless. 

I highlighted so many parts of this book. So many good reminders of why we fight and why queer joy and life is so important.
