Erica Jong
“Beware of the man who denounces woman writers; his penis is tiny and he cannot spell.”
Erica Jong

Margaret Atwood
“Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.”
Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eye

Sylvia Plath
“The reason I hadn't washed my clothes or my hair was because it seemed so silly. (...)
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash it again the next.
It made me tired just to think of it.
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.”
Sylvia Plath , The Bell Jar

Mary Doria Russell
“I do what I do without hope of reward or fear of punishment. I do not require Heaven or Hell to bribe or scare me into acting decently.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow

Miriam Toews
“We drank our coffee and talked a little bit more about practical things. Natalie came over and asked me if I knew what the trees were called. I said no. She told me they were jacarandas. She said one March two years ago she was feeling suicidal. She had planned to step in front of a bus. Then she looked at the jacaranda tree and changed her mind.
You decided to hang yourself from it instead? I said.”
Miriam Toews, Irma Voth
