Being married is like having somebody permanently in your corner. It feels limitless, not limited.

In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.

The young women seem to think that they can only go out with or marry a man who is superior to them. The problem there is that they are wanting to be defeated, as opposed to finding a partner.

For me, writing is the only thing that passes the three tests of metier: (1) when I'm doing it, I don't feel that I should be doing something else instead: (2) it produces a sense of accomplishment and, nce in a while, pride; and (3) it's frightening.

The need to treat ourselves as well as we treat others. It's women's version of the Golden Rule.
