More quotes by Marge Piercy
I am a driven writer. I feel guilty if I don't write, not self-indulgent if I do.
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.
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
Where I came from, the nights I had wandered and survived scared them, and where I would go they never imagined.
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
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
Every artist creates with open eyes what she sees in her dream.
Marge Piercy
The price of seeing is silence.
Marge Piercy

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
Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved.
Marge Piercy
The powerful don't make revolutions
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
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.
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
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
We lie in each other's arms eyes shut and fingers open and all the colors of the world pass through our bodies like strings of fire.
Marge Piercy
