“A thinking mind is not swallowed up by what it comes to know. It reaches out to grasp something related to itself and to its present knowledge (and so knowable in some degree) but also separate from itself and from its present knowledge (not identical with these). In any act of thinking, the mind must reach across this space between known and unknown, linking one to the other but also keeping visible to difference. It is an erotic space.”
― Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet

“The words we read and words we write never say exactly what we mean. The people we love are never just as we desire them. The two symbola never perfectly match. Eros is in between.”
― Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet

“in the presence of extraordinary actuality, consciousness takes the place of imagination.”
― Wallace Stevens

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”
― William Shakespear, Hamlet
