I think I've become more cynical about sex. Meaning, I don't think sex in and of itself leads to an epiphany.

The only difference between men and women is that women are able to create new little human beings in their bodies while simultaneously writing books, driving tractors, working in offices, planting crops - in general, doing everything men do.

Women really must have equal pay for equal work, equality in work at home, and reproductive choices. Men must press for these things also. They must cease to see them as "women's issues" and learn that they are everyone's issues - essential to survival on planet Earth.

This is the sad bed of chosen chastity because you are miles and mountains away.

I prefer to work in the morning. I get up now at five in the morning. In the morning is when I feel freshest.

A poem (surely someone has said this before) is a one-night stand, a short story a love affair, and a novel a marriage.

in freeing myself from the romantic dream of finding another man to come along and rescue me, I learned that no one can rescue me except myself.
