Marge Piercy
Nobody can live on a bridge or plant potatoes but it is fine for comings and goings, meetings, partings and long views and a real connection to someplace else where you may in the crazy weathers of struggle how and again want to be.
Marge Piercy
Any life is lived in a particular time and place. Every life is impacted by the family's socio-economic circumstances, and, in later life, by the person's.
Marge Piercy
Memory in Greek mythology is the mother of the muses, and it is so for me. Both personal and societal memory move me strongly, and that is one of the sources of my writing.
Marge Piercy
Suspense is one of the ways you persuade a reader to become engaged and stay engaged with your work.
Marge Piercy
In her bottled up is a woman peppery as curry, a yam of a woman of butter and brass.

Marge Piercy
The incidence of violent brand-loyalty to one's own current dogma has risen.
Marge Piercy
A strong woman is a woman at work, cleaning out the cesspool of the ages, and while she shovels, she talks about how she doesn't mind crying, it opens the ducts of the eyes, and throwing up develops the stomach muscles, and she goes on shoveling with tears in her nose.
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
What a richly colored strong warm coat is woven when love is the warp and work is the woof.
Marge Piercy
Our wedding plans please everybody as if we were fertilizing the earth and creating social luck.
Marge Piercy
Art is a game only if you playat it, a mirror that reflects from the inside out.
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
I am a driven writer. I feel guilty if I don't write, not self-indulgent if I do.
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
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.
