Janet Malcolm
“Life, of course, never gets anyone's entire attention. Death always remains interesting, pulls us, draws us.”
Janet Malcolm, The Silent Woman: Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes

Lydia Davis
“There are also men in the world. Sometimes we forget, and think there are only women—endless hills and plains of unresisting women. We make little jokes and comfort each other and our lives pass quickly. But every now and then, it is true, a man rises unexpectedly in our midst like a pine tree, and looks savagely at us, and sends us hobbling away in great floods to hide in the caves and gullies until he is gone.”
Lydia Davis, Can't and Won't

Anne Carson
“Perhaps the hardest thing about losing a lover is
to watch the year repeat its days.
It is as if I could dip my hand down

into time and scoop up
blue and green lozenges of April heat
a year ago in another country.

I can feel that other day running underneath this one
like an old videotape”
Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God

Bertolt Brecht
“What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?”
Bertolt Brecht

Anne Carson
“You remember too much,
my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that? And I said,
Where can I put it down?”
Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God
