I love literature, the English language and storytelling. I also have thirty horses and seventy foxhounds to feed.

It's still easier to take a blow from outside than it is to be disgusted with myself for not taking a stand. I don't know how people can live and not fight back but apparently millions do. They must hate themselves.

I hate the telephone. I think the lowest circle of hell is reserved for Alexander Graham Bell.

I became a lesbian because of women, because women are beautiful, strong, and compassionate.

Book tours are like boot camp but with little sleep and less food.

many lesbians were so far in the closet they were in danger of being mistaken for garment bags.

If Michaelangelo were a heterosexual, the Sistine Chapel would have been painted basic white and with a roller.
