Rosalind M. Baker, from Woman Prayers: Prayers by Women; “Breakdown,”
““What people really want is tactile information, to be in touch with their physicality, to be able to communicate, and to grow, to touch one another and be touched. To get away from the somnambulism of contemporary life. We get all this information and there’s absolutely no way to react. You’re reading some horror in the newspaper while eating your doughnut. And if you were a natural animal you’d at least scream for fifteen minutes or chop the sofa to bits–assuming that you can’t go and change the thing that the media tells you is an outrage. So we’re trapped with all these fears of real impotence.”
— Carolee Schneemann in Youngblood’s (1970) Expanded Cinema, p.370
