26 March: Erica Jong

Erica Jong was born on this date in 1942. She wrote Fear of Flying. Here are ten Erica Jong quotes.

  1. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
  2. Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
  3. Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
  4. Jealousy is all the fun you think they had.
  5. Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed.
  6. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.
  7. Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man.
  8. He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.
  9. You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.
  10. The truth is simple, you do not die from love. You only wish you did.
