eye envy want
When is enough enough? In envy's eyes, enough never is. Somebody else always has something we want.
mother years may
Oh, I know all about my mother and me,' you may say. 'All that business with my mother was over years ago.' You don't and it wasn't.
dream expression unconscious
Dreams are the expression of the unconscious while we are asleep.
mother love-you believe
If you believe in the maternal instinct and fail at mother love, you fail as a woman. It is a controlling idea that holds us in an iron grip.
running fantasy
Fantasy isn't something you run out of.
mother age
The older I get...the more of my mother I see in myself.
men ducks feminist
I'm sure it's why I'm such an odd duck in my feminist generation, because I've always been equally fair to men.
sex fall men
After sex, men fear too much intimacy; they want to separate again. Women want to talk, to continue the merging, melting fusion into one. Postcoital conversations keep the woman's power alive. Through unconscious severance, by falling asleep, the man regains his self.
sex heart men
Do women dress for men or women? I’ve always wondered why that eternally provocative question is put in terms of approval - as if the heart of the matter, the answer, were indeed a question of approval by either sex. But the question is never satisfactorily answered because it is incorrectly posed. It’s disapproval, the fear of it, that motivates most women, and with disapproval it doesn’t matter where it comes from.
writing effort paradox
All my writing has been an effort to sort out the paradoxes of my life.
long-distance-relationship separation ends
Separation is not the end of love; it creates love.
men bed
No man can be really free in bed with a woman who is not.
thinking needs monogamy
I think biologically we are attracted to more than one person, but given society and our needs, monogamy works better.
husband moon men
I like the company of men. I've never been welcome in those groups, but then I would no more go to a consciousness-raising group and talk about my intimate life with my husband than fly to the moon. I never understood all that.
