Marge Piercy
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.
Marge Piercy
Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved.
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 real writer is one who really writes.
Marge Piercy
Your anger was a climate I inhabited like a desert in a dry frigid weather of high thin air and ivory sun, sand dunes the wind lifted into stinging clouds that blinded and choked me where the only ice was in the blood.
