Erica Jong

Beware of books. They are more than innocent assemblages of paper and ink and string and glue. If they are any good, they have the spirit of the author within. Authors are rogues and ruffians and easy lays. They are gluttons for sweets and savories. They devour life and always want more. They have sap, spirit, sex. Books are panderers. The Jews are not wrong to worship books. A real book has pheromones and sprouts grass through its cover. Erica Jong
I thought to spend my declining years writing poetry and teaching - but that won't pay the Bergdorf's bill. I think I'll move to somewhere life is cheaper. Erica Jong

Erica Jong quote: "Life has no plot. It is by far more interesting than anything..."
Life has no plot. It is by far more interesting than anything you can say about it... Erica Jong

I have lived my life according to this principle: If I'm afraid of it, then I must do it. Erica Jong
