The day came when she discovered sex, sensuality, and literature; she said, 'I submit! Let my life be henceforth ruled by poetry. Let me reign as the queen of my dreams until I become nothing less than the heroine of God.

About This Quote

The day came when she discovered sex, sensuality, and literature. The French novelist Colette came to this realization when she was in her sixties. She began discovering “Erotica,” which made her realize that, “She had never been a young girl.” It was then that she began to write books about the female role in society. She wrote to express her own feelings without ever being told what to think.
