About This Quote
In “Casting my own eye down Fifth Avenue as my belly swelled, I would register with incredulity: Every one of these people came from a woman’s cunt”, John Updike captures the incredible impact of women on our society. The sheer number of people that have come from women’s vaginas is astonishing. Updike was a great writer who has created a piece of literature that will live on long after he has passed.
