“_تو شور بخت شور چشم هر چه داری از کیست؟
+ هر چه ما داریم از پادشاه است.
*چه میگویی مرد ؛ ما که چیزی نداریم.
+ آن نیز از پادشاه است.”

“But in actuality, as we all know, things as they are and as they have been, in the arts as in a hundred other areas, are stultifying, oppressive, and discouraging to all those, women among them, who did not have the good fortune to be born white, preferably middle class and, above all, male. The fault lies not in our stars, our hormones, our menstrual cycles, or our empty internal spaces, but in our institutions and our education--education understood to include everything that happens to us from the moment we enter this world of meaningful symbols, signs, and signals.”
― Linda Nochlin, Women, Art, and Power and Other Essays
