"I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only."

Additional quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estés
The mate for the wildish woman is the one who has a soulful tenacity and endurance, one who can send his own instinctual nature to peek under the tent of a woman’s soul-life and comprehend what he sees and hears there. The good match is the man who keeps returning to try to understand, who does not let himself be deterred by the side shows on the road.
Stories set the inner life into motion, and this is particularly important where the inner life is frightened, wedged, or cornered. Story greases the hoists and pulleys, it causes adrenaline to surge, shows us the way out, down, or up, and for our trouble, cuts for us fine wide doors in previously blank walls, openings that lead to the dreamland, that lead to love and learning, that lead us back to our own real lives as knowing wildish women.

حينما نفقد الاتصال بالروح الغريزية, نعيش في حالة تشبة الحطام وتهيؤات كالأوهام, بحيث لا يتسنى للقوى-التي هي طبيعية في الأنثى- أن تنمو وتمر بأطوارها بالكامل. حينما تُقتلَع المرأة من تربتها الحقيقية, تفقد حيويتها وتضطرب دورات حياتها الطبيعية والفطرية, وتدخل ضمن التصنيفات الثقافية والفكرية والنفسية التي تنتمي إلى الآخرين.
