Erica Jong: "Do you want me to tell you something really subversive?"



"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more."

This includes the love of writing.

Happy Birthday, Erica Jong!

Great quote. Made me cry, damn it.

I don't want this to be subversive. Is enough of the world really jaded enough that this is subversive? My heart aches for those people.
