Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what you're going to do with it.

It didn’t occur to me that they would never take my gender and age seriously – that as long as I was a young woman, they projected their sexual feelings on me, regardless of what I did.

Let’s face it, we can’t shop for intelligence, creativity, or freedom.

I got introduced to audiobooks because of having a baby.

Sexual creativity is a mystery that will never be solved by commercialism.

When a young woman discovers her power, both sexual and intellectual, she unleashes her own voice, her righteousness. The first things she has to jettison are the Devil and any religious representation of her gender as stained or subservient. She’s just naturally going to be attracted to Goddesses or witches or, as in my case, a scientific understanding of the body and a historical view of sexual politics.

In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it’s so hard to be read.

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me.

I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don’t have a sense of being in the majority.
