More quotes by Marge Piercy
Whatever is not an energy source, is an energy sink.
Marge Piercy
Obviously I find women more interesting than men to write about.
Marge Piercy
This life is a war we are not yet winning for our daughters' children. Don't do your enemies' work for them. Finish your own.
Marge Piercy
If I observe my cats carefully, it is partly because I observe everyone I deal with as carefully as I can and partly because they amuse and entertain me. They are an important part of the fabric of my daily life.
Marge Piercy
The will to be totally rational is the will to be made out of glass and steel: and to use others as if they were glass and steel.
Marge Piercy
All women are misfits. We do not fit into this world without amputations.
Marge Piercy
We may be losing the ability to understand animals who are not pets or horses. We have less contact with them. We don't (most of us) tend to know even cows and pigs, let alone bears or wolverines or red tailed hawks.
Marge Piercy
Writing is a futile attempt to preserve what disappears moment by moment.
Marge Piercy
Suppose that a person writes what she must. That is only the first step of becoming a writer. The work must survive the moment of creation. It must get out to an audience. She or he must dare to show the work. She must risk ridicule, misunderstanding, scandal, condemnation, & what's often worse, none of the above: silence. No attention at all.
Marge Piercy
The moon is always female and so am I although often in the vale of razorblades I have wished I could put on and take off my sex like a dress and why not?
Marge Piercy
Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved.
Marge Piercy
Shared laughter is erotic too.
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
The people I love the best, jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows.
Marge Piercy
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.
Marge Piercy
I wasn't afraid of being poor I rather took it for granted. I was good at getting by with very little. I couldn't imagine sacrificing my writing to anything else.
Marge Piercy
Too much self-regard has never struck me as dignified: trying to twist over my shoulder to view my own behind.
Marge Piercy
The politics of the exile are fever, revenge, daydream, theater of the aging convalescent. You wait in the wings and rehearse. You wait and wait.
Marge Piercy
Shall I tell you something I've been noticing? The mistrust this society has for women. All kinds of experts and officials are terrified because so many women are working. They really think that women have to be coerced into having babies and raising kids.
Marge Piercy
Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats.
Marge Piercy
