Quotes by Dorothea Tanning (?)

“Art has always been the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity. I don't see a different purpose for it now.”

“I'm very much against the arrangement of procreation, at least for humans. If I could have designed it, it would be a toss-up who gets pregnant, the man or woman. Boy, that would end rape for one thing. And 'woman artist'? Disgusting.”
― Dorothea Tanning, Between Lives: An Artist and Her World

tags: feminism, procreation, rape, woman-artist

“Él nos dijo: con los años llegaréis
a amar el mundo.
Y nos sentamos allí con las almas en el regazo
y las consolamos.”
