Feminist quotes
" After the revolution, it might very well remain necessary to place people where they could not do harm to others. But the one under restraint should be cut off from the rest of society as little as possible. "

Barbara Deming
" After the revolution, let us hope, prisons simply would not exist - if by prisons we mean places that could be experienced by the men and women in them at all as every place that goes by that name now is bound to be experienced. "

Barbara Deming
" After the revolution, surely the only good reason for institutions that could still be called prisons - because they take people and place them under restraint - is this reason: wanting to keep people from harming others. "

Barbara Deming
" After the revolution, when one person injures another, society would concern itself most immediately to give help to the person who has been injured. "

Barbara Deming
" All prisons that have existed in our society to date put people away as no human being should ever be put away. "

Barbara Deming
" But if institutions of restraint might still be necessary, they should no longer be institutions of punishment at the same time. "

Barbara Deming
" I think the only choice that will enable us to hold to our vision... is one that abandons the concept of naming enemies and adopts a concept familiar to the nonviolent tradition: naming behavior that is oppressive. "

Barbara Deming
" Nonviolent tactics can move into action on our behalf men not naturally inclined to act for us. "

Barbara Deming
" Of course it can be said of jails, too, that they try - by punishing the troublesome - to deter others. No doubt, in certain instances this deterrence actually works. But generally speaking it fails conspicuously. "

Barbara Deming
" Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution. "

Barbara Deming
" People who attack others need rationalizations for doing so. We undermine those rationalizations. "

Barbara Deming
" Punishment cannot heal spirits, can only break them. "

Barbara Deming
" Seek to destroy not the abusers of power but the sources of that power, which are certainly not their particular bodies. "

Barbara Deming
" The free man must be born before freedom can be won, and the brotherly man must be born before full brotherhood can be won. It will come into being only if we build it out of our very muscle and bone - by trying to act it out. "

Barbara Deming
" The injunction that we should love our neighbors as ourselves means to us equally that we should love ourselves as we love our neighbors. "

Barbara Deming
