I Still Found Literary Criticism To Be

The Secret Subversive Goal Of My Work Is To Show That Women, Not Just Lesbians, Are Regular Human Beings.

It Was A Vicious Cycle, Though. The More Gratification We Found In Our Own Geniuses, The More Isolated We Grew.

It's Our Very Capacity For Self-consciousness That Makes Us Self-destructive!

I Suppose That A Lifetime Spent Hiding One's Erotic Truth Could Have A Cumulative Renunciatory Effect. Sexual Shame Is In Itself A Kind Of Death.

It Certainly Was An Important Moment For Me, That Realization That I Was Not Going To Get What I Wanted. It Was Very Freeing. I Keep Using That Word "freeing" Or "liberating." I Feel Like Houdini Sometimes, Like I'm Just Getting Out Of One Set Of Shackles After Another, Hanging Upside Down Inside A Burlap Bag With Handcuffs On. Hopefully One Day, I'm Going To Get Out Of This Tank Of Water.
