““I would like to have a child. A very wise and witty little girl who’d grow up to be the woman I could never be. A very independent little girl with no scars on the brain or the psyche… A little girl who said what she meant and meant what she said. A little girl who was neither bitchy nor mealy-mouthed… What I really wanted was to give birth to myself—the little girl I might have been in a different family, a different world.” —Erica Jong, Fear of Flying””
