Familiar Quotations: Puke

AuthorQuotation

Tori Amos

Women must understand that simply attacking or hating all men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her power. All it will do is make her puke eventually. Rather than say--all men are bastards-- let's say--all men are infants, until they decide to be men--Calling them bastards is boring at this stage.
