I had noticed, for example, how all my infatuations dissolved as soon as I really became friends with a man, became sympathetic to his problems, listened to him kvetch about his wife, or ex-wives, his mother, his children. After that I would like him, perhaps even love him—but without passion.

There is nothing fiercer than a failed artist. The energy remains, but, having no outlet, it implodes in a great black fart of rage which smokes up all the inner windows of the soul.
~ Erica Jong
Era come se lo stomaco pensasse di essere il cuore. E non importava quanto lo riempissi... di uomini, di libri, di cibo, di biscotti allo zenzero a forma di uomo, di poesie a forma di uomo e di uomini a forma di poesie... rifiutava di calmarsi. Senza fondo... ecco com'era. Ninfomania del cervello. Denutrizione del cuore.

You're not a secretary; you're a poet. What makes you think your life is going to be uncomplicated? What makes you think you can avoid all conflict? What makes you think you can avoid pain? Or passion? There's something to be said for passion. Can't you ever allow yourself and forgive yourself?
~ Erica Jong
Young women dream of romance and passion as men dream of conquest because those dreams are necessary goads to leaving home and growing up.

Non c'è niente di più terribile di un artista mancato. L'energia rimane, ma, priva com'è di una valvola di sfogo, implode in un gigantesco peto nero di rabbia che offusca tutte le finestre interne dell'anima.

~ Erica Jong
Does love even have a sex? I doubt it. If you are lucky enough to love, who cares what decorative flesh your lover sports? The divine delta, that juicy fig, the powerful phallus, that scepter of state- each is only an aspect of Aphrodite, after all. We are all hermaphrodites at heart- aren't we? The delta is as soft as Aphrodite, the phallus stiff as Ares' spear. And no one wears anything for long but a coat of dust. Only the songs of passion linger
~ Erica Jong
Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.
~ Erica Jong
There is nothing fiercer than a failed artist. The energy remains, but having no outlet, it implodes in a great fart of rage which smokes up all the inner windows of the soul.
~ Erica Jong
On aime toujours trop quand on aime vraiment. L'exces est de rigueur. ( Don Juan ) Votre Diablerie, vous ne pouvez dire cela. Tout est pour le pire dans le pire des mondes possibles. ( Le majordome dans L'Ecole du diable )

Pourtant Dieu existe, Don Juan, Dieu existe. Car ce que j'ai senti pour vous, c'est cela, Dieu.
~ Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Êtes-vous polythéiste, monsieur ? — Pardon ? — Moi je suis monothéiste. Je n'aime qu'un compositeur : Chopin. Je possède la conviction de n'avoir été envoyée sur terre que pour jouer et écouter Chopin.
~ Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
