When I stopped seeing my mother with the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself.

I like the company of men. I've never been welcome in those groups, but then I would no more go to a consciousness-raising group and talk about my intimate life with my husband than fly to the moon. I never understood all that.

I'm sure it's why I'm such an odd duck in my feminist generation, because I've always been equally fair to men.

The older I get...the more of my mother I see in myself.

The debt of gratitude we owe our mother and father goes forward, not backward. What we owe our parents is the bill presented to us by our children.

Inside every adult male is a denied little boy.

I think biologically we are attracted to more than one person, but given society and our needs, monogamy works better.
