“A little moonshine ain't no sin”
― Anaïs Mitchell, Working on a Song: The Lyrics of HADESTOWN

“I think it's helpful to know how sunsets work. I don't buy the romantic notion that scientific understanding somehow robs the universe of its beauty, but I still can't find language to describe how breathtakingly beautiful sunsets are--not breathtakingly, actually, but breath-givingly beautiful. All I can say is that sometimes when the world is between day and night, I'm stopped cold by its splendor, and I feel my absurd smallness. You'd think that would be sad, but it isn't. It only makes me grateful.”
― John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

“Laura: I've never danced in my life!
Jim: Come on, try!
Laura: Oh, but I'd step on you!
Jim: I'm not made out of glass.”
― Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie

“I suppose you do love me, in your way,” I said to him one night close to dawn when we lay on the narrow bed. “And how else should I love you —in your way?” he asked. I am still thinking about that.”
― Anne Carson, Plainwater: Essays and Poetry (By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature)
