More quotes by Marge Piercy
Obviously I find women more interesting than men to write about.
Marge Piercy
A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces. More commonly it's modeled of baling wire and acne. More commonly it wheezes and tips over.
Marge Piercy
I don't find that writing about parts of my life had much effect except in some cases to improve my memory. To get into parts of the past I want to recall very vividly, I use a form of directed meditation.
Marge Piercy
Whatever is not an energy source, is an energy sink.
Marge Piercy
Live as if you liked yourself, and it may happen: reach out, keep reaching out, keep bringing in. This is how we are going to live for a long time: not always, for every gardener knows that after the digging, after the planting, after the long season of tending and growth, the harvest comes.
Marge Piercy
We must shine with hope, stained glass windows that shape light into icons, glow like lanterns borne before a procession. Who can bear hope back into the world but us.
Marge Piercy
Remember that every son had a mother whose beloved son he was, and every woman had a mother whose beloved son she wasn't.
Marge Piercy
Every poet has a certain amount of stuff. That's what you draw from for imagery. The more stuff you know well, not simply intellectually but sensually, emotionally, intimately, the wider the pool from which you draw.
Marge Piercy
Every Jewish holiday has a religious significance, a historical significance, and a relevance to the time of year in the natural calendar of the seasons and trees and growing things, as well as a personal significance. So you are always looking backward, outward, inward and forward.
Marge Piercy
I communicate much better with cats, usually. I know them and their body language - as my own cats know mine very well. Cats are adept at reading subtle signals.
Marge Piercy
In her bottled up is a woman peppery as curry, a yam of a woman of butter and brass.
Marge Piercy
I did not always know I would be a writer. Until I had a room of my own, I did not write much at all - no more than any other child who read a lot of books. I began to write fiction and poetry when I first had a room that was truly my own with a door that shut and some measure, however fragile, of privacy.
Marge Piercy
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.
Marge Piercy
Doorways are sacred to women for we are the doorways of life and we must choose what comes in and what goes out.
Marge Piercy
We admire predators - panthers, lions, tigers, even wolves. Maybe to be naturally thoughtful and hesitant to use violence is to be somehow second rate. To be in the middle of the social food chain. Especially if you're a man. This society thinks real men are violent.
Marge Piercy
What a richly colored strong warm coat is woven when love is the warp and work is the woof.
Marge Piercy
When she kissed him, he melted like a lump of milk chocolate.
Marge Piercy
The price of seeing is silence.
Marge Piercy
The work of the world is common as mud.
Marge Piercy
Writing is a futile attempt to preserve what disappears moment by moment.
