Tennessee Williams
“Sometimes—there's God—so quickly!”
Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

Anne Carson
“You doubt God? Well more to the point I credit God with the good sense to doubt me. What is mortality after all but divine doubt flashing over us? For an instant God suspends assent and poof! we disappear.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse

Sylvia Plath
“Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it. What I couldn't stand was this shrinking everything into letters and numbers...I knew chemistry would be worse, because I'd seen a big chart of the ninety-odd elements hung up in the chemistry lab, and all of the perfectly good words like gold and silver and cobalt and aluminum were shortened to ugly abbreviations with different decimal numbers after them.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Anne Carson
“Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against gods. In crisis their souls are visible.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

Anne Carson
“If prose is a house, poetry is a man on fire running quite fast through it".”
Anne Carson
