Women writers of all people should know better than to pigeonhole women, put them in little groups, the smart one, the sweet one.

high fashion has little to do with what women wear and a lot to do with what retailers mark down later.

You can get rid of the column. It's a little like staying at a hotel you get used to the shape of the room, and then you're gone. With a novel you move into town and stay for a long time. That's both comforting and terrifying.

If God had meant Harvard professors to appear in People magazine, She wouldn't have invented The New York Review of Books.
Anna Quindlen
Choose the kids. There will be plenty of time later to choose work.

A finished person is a boring person.

Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves how to make room for them, to love them, and to live, really live.
