Erica Jong Quotes

Sadly, because of the enormous gap between rich and poor, some mothers can afford helpers, but many can't. Those who can would be kinder to refrain from criticizing other women Picture Quote #1

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't Picture Quote #1

Friends love misery, in fact. Sometimes, especially if we are too lucky or too successful or too pretty, our misery is the only thing that endears us to our friends Picture Quote #1

The trick is not how much pain you feel - but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses Picture Quote #1

If you apologize for something that isn't your fault in the first place, you, in effect, confirm their belief that it is your fault Picture Quote #1

I am sure that when we love we are better than ourselves and when we hate, worse Picture Quote #1

There is nothing fiercer than a failed artist. The energy remains, but, having no outlet, it implodes in a great black fart of rage which smokes up all the inner windows of the soul Picture Quote #1

I can live without it all - love with its blood pump, sex with its messy hungers, men with their peacock strutting, their silly sexual baggage, their wet tongues in my ear Picture Quote #1

Women are their own worst enemies. And guilt is the main weapon of self-torture... Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man Picture Quote #1

But I am wise if not yet quite old, wanting the poem more than the lover, wanting words more than the sticky dew men secrete in their private places Picture Quote #1

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more Picture Quote #1

When I sit down at my writing desk, time seems to vanish. I think it’s a wonderful way to spend one’s life Picture Quote #1

Often I find that poems predict what I’m going to do later in my own writing, and often I find that poems predict my life. So I think poetry is the most intense expression of feeling that we have Picture Quote #1

Art keeps one young, I think, because it keeps one perpetually a beginner, perpetually a child Picture Quote #1
