More From Erica Jong
- "Poetry is the language we speak in the most terrifying or ecstatic passages of our lives. But the very word poetry scares people. They think of their grade school teachers reciting ‘Hiawatha’ and they groan."
- "Men and women, women and men. It will never work."
- "You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy."
