Anne Carson
“The poached egg on your plate at breakfast is not dirt. The poached egg on page 202 of the Greek lexicon in the library of the British Museum is dirt.”
Anne Carson, Norma Jeane Baker of Troy

Anne Carson
“A stranger is someone who sits very still at the kitchen table, looks down at his knuckles, thinks some day we will laugh about this, doesn't believe it.”
Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God

“Women are never just women, they're the men they prop up and save.”
Annie Lord, Notes on Heartbreak

Simone de Beauvoir
“The centre of the world is no longer where she is but where her beloved is; all roads leave from and lead to his house. She uses his words and repeats his gestures, adopts his maniacs and tics. 'I am Heathcliff,' says Catherine in Wuthering Heights; this is the cry of all women in love; she is another incarnation of the beloved, his reflection, his double: she is he. She lets her own world flounder in contingence. She lives in his universe.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

Anne Carson
“Girls are cruellest to themselves.”
Anne Carson, The Glass Essay
