More quotes by Marge Piercy

Marge Piercy
The price of seeing is silence.
Marge Piercy
The work of the world is common as mud.
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

Marge Piercy
Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats.
Marge Piercy
Remember that every son had a mother whose beloved son he was, and every woman had a mother whose beloved son she wasn't.
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
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
Connections are made slowly, sometimes they grow underground.
Marge Piercy
I wasn't afraid of being poor I rather took it for granted. I was good at getting by with very little. I couldn't imagine sacrificing my writing to anything else.
