More quotes by Erica Jong
Poetry is what we turn to in the most emotional moments of our life - when a beloved friend dies, when a baby is born or when we fall in love.
Erica Jong
in freeing myself from the romantic dream of finding another man to come along and rescue me, I learned that no one can rescue me except myself.
Erica Jong
Never joke with the press. Irony does not translate into newsprint.
Erica Jong
Silence is the bluntest of blunt instruments. It seems to hammer you into the ground. It drives you deeper and deeper into your own guilt. It makes the voices inside your head accuse you more viciously than any outside voices ever could.
Erica Jong
Genius is a strong aphrodisiac.
Erica Jong
Eating is never so simple as hunger.
Erica Jong

Erica Jong

Erica Jong
I think that the joy of writing a novel is the self-exploratio n that emerges and also that wonderful feeling of playing God with the characters. When I sit down at my writing desk, time seems to vanish. ... I think the most important thing for a writer is to be locked in a study.
Erica Jong
Solitude is un-American.
Erica Jong
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.
Erica Jong
what was time but a convention, a habit of mind, a custom of dress?
Erica Jong
A baby's mother also needs a mother.
Erica Jong
biography is essentially a collaborative art, the latest biographer collaborating with all those who wrote earlier.
Erica Jong
Women tend to be preservers of the social structure, of marriage. They don't want to upset their husbands or their significant others. They don't want to hurt people.
