More From Erica Jong

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

What attracted me about my mirrors was the idea of having nothing manipulated in them. a piece of bought mirror. just hung there, without any addition, to operate immediately and directly. even at the risk of being boring. mere demonstration. the mirrors, and even more the panes of glass, were also certainly directed against duchamp, against his large glass.
Art Glasses Mirrors
You're beautiful, but you're empty...one couldn't die for you. of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. but my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one i've watered. since she's the one i put under glass, since she's the one i sheltered behind the screen. since she's the one for whom i killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). since she's the one i listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. since she's my rose.
Beautiful Butterfly Thinking
And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman's eye.

Why are all reflections lovelier than what we call reality? -- not so grand or so strong, it may be, but always lovelier? fair as is the gliding sloop on the shining sea, the wavering, trembling, unresting sail below is fairer still...all mirrors are magic mirrors. the commonest room is a room in a poem when i turn to the glass...there must be a truth involved in it, though we may but in part lay hold of the meaning.
Strong Reflection Reality
Indeed, baptism is a vow, a sacred vow of the believer to follow christ. just as a wedding celebrates the fusion of two hearts, baptism celebrates the union of sinner with savior.

Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. so everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.

You haven't yet opened your heart fully, to life, to each moment. the peaceful warrior's way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability--to the world, to life, and to the presence you felt. all along i've shown you by example that a warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.

Many people believe the names of in 'n out and steak 'n shake perfectly describe the contrast in bedroom techniques between the coast and the heartland.

Our friends should be our incentives to right, but not only our guiding, but our prophetic, stars. to love by right is much, to love by faith is more; both are the entire love, without which heart, mind, and soul cannot be alike satisfied. we love and ought to love one another, not merely for the absolute worth of each, but on account of a mutual fitness of temporary character.
