More quotes by Marge Piercy
Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats.
Marge Piercy
We live in a media soup and are constantly being programmed or are fighting that programming. Thus any truthful account of a life, every part of a life, is about society as well as an individual.
Marge Piercy
You are built to pull a cart, to lift a heavy load and bear it, to haul up the long slope, and so am I, peasant bodies, earthy, solid shapely dark glazed clay pots that can stand on the fire.
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
My grandmother was very important to me. She gave me my religious education. She gave me a sense of the female side of Judaism, of the rich store of stories and legends of the women of the schtetl.
Marge Piercy
The real writer is one who really writes.
Marge Piercy

Marge Piercy
There are obviously a great many ways to organize some fraction of the material in a life.
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 have no connections here only gusty collisions, rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse. ... I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn, a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement. People want to push the buttons and see me glow.
Marge Piercy
Art is a game only if you playat it, a mirror that reflects from the inside out.
Marge Piercy
Obviously I find women more interesting than men to write about.
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
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
Our wedding plans please everybody as if we were fertilizing the earth and creating social luck.
Marge Piercy
When she kissed him, he melted like a lump of milk chocolate.
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.
