Piercy

Famous quotes containing the word piercy:

    this quilt might be
    the only perfect artifact a woman
    would ever see, yet she did not doubt
    what we had forgotten, that out of her
    potatoes and colic, sawdust and blood
    she could create ...
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    The politics of the exile are fever,
    revenge, daydream,
    theater of the aging convalescent.
    You wait in the wings and rehearse.
    You wait and wait.
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces
    More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne.
    More commonly it wheezes and tips over.
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
