There is a certain degree of steampunkishness that creeps into my books.
There is nothing so unpardonable as to consent to a senseless, aimless, purposeless life.
Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
When I love most, love is disguised. In hate; and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.
Where the heart lies, let the brain lie also.
My secrets must be poetic to be believable.
Marriage. . . is still the imperfect institution it must remain while women continue to be ill-educated, passive, and subservient.
I'm tired, but proud.
There's been times when I have actually had sex indoors. And then you kind of sober up a little when it's over. I become like a bartender at 2 AM. OK, people, let's move it out! Yeah, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
