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.

The real writer is one who really writes. Talent is an invention like phlogiston after the fact of fire. Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved.

Long hair is considered bohemian, which may be why I grew it, but I keep it long because I love the way it feels, part cloak, part fan, part mane, part security blanket.

The best gift you can give is a hug: one size fits all and no one ever minds if you return it

All women are misfits. We do not fit into this world without amputations. -Marge Piercy.

Never doubt that you can change history. You already have.
