Erica Jong on Mother's Day
born 1942 United States
13 quotes
Love is love, but marriage is an investment.
It takes a spasm of love to write a poem.
I am not sure if love is a salve or just a deeper kind of wound.
In loving life you love what can't survive...
Pain is not love. Love flowers; love gives without taking; love is serene and calm.
Underneath it all, you longed to be annihilated by love...
Hate generalizes; love is particular.
Friends love misery... our misery is what endears us to our friends.
I want you. I want you. I want you. Anything to avoid saying: I love you.
...I am sure that when we love we are better than ourselves and when we hate, worse.
Because I loved myself, I was loved.
