More quotes by 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
Art is a game only if you playat it, a mirror that reflects from the inside out.
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
Connections are made slowly, sometimes they grow underground.
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
Looking at my life was very difficult. I think I learned that I haven't been as good a person as I'm inclined to think of myself as. I haven't been as good friend, haven't been as good a person, made a lot of mistakes.
Marge Piercy
Sometimes when a character in a novel is difficult for me to enter, I sue something in myself or in my own life as a doorway into that character's mind and emotions.
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.
Marge Piercy
Every artist creates with open eyes what she sees in her dream.
Marge Piercy
All women are misfits. We do not fit into this world without amputations.
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
The people I love the best, jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows.
Marge Piercy
Shared laughter is erotic too.
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
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
There are obviously a great many ways to organize some fraction of the material in a life.
Marge Piercy
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.
Marge Piercy
Obviously I find women more interesting than men to write about.
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.
