Inserting data into field of type LONG

I am having problem doing:

insert into mytable values(1,'This text is over 2000 characters.....');

mytable has 2 columns:
1. index, type NUMBER
2. text, type LONG

The error message that Oracle returns is: ORA-01704: string literal too long

Thanks in advance!
