John Irving Quotes
It Galls Me That Seeking Out The Seedy, The Sordid, The Sexual, And The Deviant Is The Expected (if Not Altogether Acceptable) Behavior Of Male Writers; It Would Surely Benefit Me, As A Writer, If I Had The Courage To Seek Out More Of The Seedy, The Sordid, The Sexual, And The Deviant Myself. But Women Who Seek Out Such Things Are Made To Feel Ashamed, Or Else They Sound Stridently Ridiculous In Defending Themselves
As If They're Bragging ... Yet There Are Subjects That Remain Off-limits For Women Writers. It's Not Unlike That Dichotomy Which Exists Regarding One's Sexual Past: It Is Permissible, Even Attractive, For A Man To Have Had One, But If A Woman Has Had A Sexual Past, She'd Better Keep Quiet About It.
