Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women.

Rita Mae Brown

Women who love women, who choose women to nurture and support and to create a living environment in which to work creatively and independently, are lesbians.

Blanche Wiesen Cook

LESBIANS are women who prefer their own ways to male ways.LESBIANS prefer the convoluting halls of sensuality to direct goal-pursuing mores. LESBIANS have made a small world deep within and separated from the world.What has usually been called the world is the male world.

Kathy Acker

One problem that I kept in mind was that in avoiding the BODY BEAUTIFUL as exhibited in the pseudo-lesbians of David Hamilton or J. Frederick Smith, I ran the risk of reinforcing negative myths, i.e. that lesbians are women who cannot attract men because they do not conform to society's standard of beauty.

Tee Corinne

Frankly, [the definition of woman] is a problem that the lesbians do not have because of a change of perspective. 'Woman' has meaning only in heterosexual systems of thought and heterosexual, economic systems. Lesbians are not women.

Monique Wittig

The great tragedy in the new feminist theory in America is the loss of a sense of public commitment.... Hungry women are not fed by this, battered women are not sheltered by it, raped women do not find justice in it, gays and lesbians do not achieve legal protections through it.

Martha C. Nussbaum

One of the most startling discoveries of my career was when I realized that the strongest women in the world are not lesbians but heterosexual women, who know how to handle men.

Camille Paglia

Lesbians are the poets of the humanity of women.

Nicole Brossard

All women are lesbians except those who don't know it.

Jill Johnston

It's very hard for a woman in comedy. It's hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians.

Margaret Cho

I think that older lesbians definitely didn't take care of themselves. They didn't exercise. But the younger lesbians, they're very different. They go to the gym. They manage their eating. They're much more fashion-conscious.

Jackie Warner

Until all women are lesbians, there will be no true political revolution.

Jill Johnston

Even as a young girl, straight women loved me. Straight women like me a lot more than lesbians do. Isn't that weird?

Jackie Warner

Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.

Catherine Deneuve

The secret subversive goal of my work is to show that women, not just lesbians, are regular human beings.

Alison Bechdel

I object to the hypersexualization of all the superheroines. Most of them have been hypersexualized, but especially to Wonder Woman, because she is an icon. She is up there with Superman and Batman. And she is the one who is the big influence on women. Women who don't read comics still know who Wonder Woman is.
