Fleur Jaeggy
“You can call me a thief if you like, a thief of ceremonies”
Fleur Jaeggy, The Water Statues

Lyn Hejinian
“A work of art is a prophetic loan, drawn on fugitive premises; the artist acts on it, and, presumably, sustains some faith that others will do so too, or at least could.”
Lyn Hejinian, Tribunal

Yukio Mishima
“Besides, like a man who knows he is dying, he felt a need to be equally tender to all.”
Yukio Mishima, The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea / Temple of the Golden Pavilion / Confessions of a Mask

Lyn Hejinian
“Ambiguities everywhere should be collected as evidence of ambivalence.”
Lyn Hejinian, Positions of the Sun

Anaïs Nin
“She understood why it angered her when others spoke of life as One life. She became certain of myriad lives within herself. Her sense of time altered. She felt acutely and with grief, the shortness of life's physical span. Death was terrifyingly near, and and the journey towards it, vertiginous; but only when she considered the lives around her, accepting their time tables, clocks, measurements. Everything they did constricted time...But Sabina, activated by the moonrays, felt germinating in her the power to extend time in the ramifications of a myriad of lives and loves, to to expand the journey to infinity, taking immense and luxurious detours as the courtesan depositor of multiple desires.”
Anaïs Nin, A Spy in the House of Love
