Women are individuals in parenting, and why not?
Erica Jong
As yet we use our media only for selling things - including, of course, political candidates. What will happen when someone masters the art of selling souls?
Erica Jong
That was probably the mistake of my generation, that we thought that having sex with anyone would be intimate and it wasn't.
Erica Jong
To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary.
Erica Jong
Don't ye know that ev'ry Soul on Earth feels itself to be an Orphan?
