Truman Capote
“It is easy to ignore the rain if you have a raincoat”
Truman Capote, In Cold Blood

Richard Wright
“Wherever I found religion in my life I found strife, the attempt of one individual or group to rule another in the name of God. The naked will to power seemed always to walk in the wake of a hymn.”
Richard Wright, Black Boy

James Joyce
“Absence, the highest form of presence.”
James Joyce

Susan Sontag
“On Keeping a Journal.

Superficial to understand the journal as just a receptacle for one’s private, secret thoughts—like a confidante who is deaf, dumb, and illiterate. In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could do to any person; I create myself.

The journal is a vehicle for my sense of selfhood. It represents me as emotionally and spiritually independent. Therefore (alas) it does not simply record my actual, daily life but rather—in many cases—offers an alternative to it.”
Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

Anne Carson
“Four of the roses were on fire.
They stood up straight and pure on the stalk, gripping the dark like prophets
and howling colossal intimacies
from the back of their fused throats.
- XXVII. MITWELT”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red
