Quotes

From the time I arrived on the Cape, one of the things I chose explicitly was to put my writing first. Everything else in my life waxed and waned, but writing, I discovered during my restructuring, was my real core. Not any relationship. Not any love. Not any person. I had become more selfish and less accessible. I ceased to be the universal mommy of the tribe. I wanted to see people when I was done with my writing for the day, and not in the middle of my work time. Marge Piercy
Writing sometimes feels frivolous and sometimes sacred, but memory is one of my strongest muses. I serve her with my words. So long as people read, those we love survive however evanescently. As do we writers, saying with our life's work, Remember. Remember us. Remember me. Marge Piercy
Marge Piercy quote: "Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding..."
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third. Marge Piercy
Attention is love, what we must givechildren, mothers, fathers, pets, our friends, the news, the woes of others. What we want to change we curse and thenpick up a tool. Bless whatever you canwith eyes and hands and tongue. If youcan't bless it, get ready to make it new. Marge Piercy
A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. A strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. A strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. Strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail. Marge Piercy
The real writer is one who really writes. Talent is an invention like phlogiston after the fact of fire. Work is its own cure. You have to like it better than being loved. Marge Piercy
Long hair is considered bohemian, which may be why I grew it, but I keep it long because I love the way it feels, part cloak, part fan, part mane, part security blanket. Marge Piercy
Marge Piercy quote: "There is no justice we don't make daily like bread and love."
There is no justice we don't make daily like bread and love. Marge Piercy
Marge Piercy quote: "Love as if you liked yourself, and it may happen."
Love as if you liked yourself, and it may happen. Marge Piercy
