“Para la mujer antigua, el dolor más grande era la traición o la pérdida del hombre amado; para la mujer nueva es la pérdida de sí misma.”
― Alexandra Kolontai, Autobiografía de una mujer sexualmente emancipada

“Yet the longing to be understood by a man down to the deepest, most secret recesses of one's soul, to be recognized by him as a striving human being, repeatedly decided matters. And repeatedly disappointment ensued all too swiftly, since the friend saw in me only the feminine element which he tried to mold into a willing sounding board to his own ego. So repeatedly the moment inevitably arrived in which I had to shake off the chains of community with an aching heart but with a sovereign, uninfluenced will. Then I was again alone.”
― Alexandra Kollontai, The Autobiography of a Sexually Emancipated Communist Woman
