“So many of the conscious and unconscious ways men and women treat each other have to do with romantic and sexual fantasies that are deeply ingrained not just in society but in literature.The women's movement may manage to clean up the mess in society, but I don't know if it can clean up the mess in our minds.”
“Not many women got to live out the daydream of women—to have a room, even a section of a room, that only gets messed up when she messes it up herself.”
“That's how we women deal with stuff. We spit it all out, kind of like a hairball, and then we clean up the mess and move on.”
“Make a mess. Clean it up.”
“Make a beautiful mess and clean it up later.”
“God's ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.”
