Henrik Ibsen
“Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.”
Henrik Ibsen

Anne Sexton
“The real me lives in words, not in what words mean.”
Anne Sexton

Anne Sexton
“Tuesday

I have invented a lie.
There is no other day but Monday.
It seemed reasonable to pretend
that I could change the day
like a pair of socks.
To tell the truth
days are all the same size
and words aren't much company.
If I were sick, I'd be a child,
tucked in under the woolens, sipping my broth.
As it is,
the days are not worth grabbing or lying about.
Nevertheless, you are the only one
that I can bother with this matter.

Monday

It would be pleasant to be drunk:
faithless to my tongue and hands,
giving up the boundaries
for the heroic gin.
Dead drunk
is the term I think of,
insensible,
neither cool nor warm,
without a head or foot.
To be drunk is to be intimate with a fool.
I will try it shortly.”
Anne Sexton, All My Pretty Ones

Ludwig Bemelmans
“For gypsies do not like to stay -
They only come to go away.”
Ludwig Bemelmans, Madeline and the Gypsies

Virginia Woolf
“She has no body as others have. People have no meaning to her. She has no answer for them. Her mind steps into emptiness, alone.”
Virginia Woolf , The Waves
