Oscar Wilde
“We are often told that the poor are grateful for charity. Some of them are, no doubt, but the best amongst the poor are never grateful. They are ungrateful, discontented, disobedient, and rebellious. They are quite right to be so. Charity they feel to be a ridiculously inadequate mode of partial restitution, or a sentimental dole, usually accompanied by some impertinent attempt on the part of the sentimentalist to tyrannise over their private lives. Why should they be grateful for the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table? They should be seated at the board, and are beginning to know it.”
Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism

Fredric Jameson
“Always historicize!”
Fredric Jameson, The Political Unconscious

Mary Lambert
“i only know how to exist when i'm wanted.”
Mary Lambert

Oscar Wilde
“The arts that have escaped [uniformity] best are the arts in which the public take no interest. Poetry is an instance of what I mean. We have been able to have fine poetry in England because the public do not read it, and consequently do not influence it.”
Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism

Sylvia Plath
“I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely”
Sylvia Plath
