    “But bear in mind your lover’s wage

    At all that is not pictured there.”

    “I was elected a Captain of Volunteers—a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.”

    “To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.”
    —Erica Jong (b. 1942)
