Virginia Woolf
“Let us take down one of those old notebooks which we have all, at one time or another, had a passion for beginning. Most of the pages are blank, it is true; but at the beginning we shall find a certain number very beautifully covered with a strikingly legible handwriting….here we have copied out fine passages from the classics;…here, most interesting of all, lists of books that have actually been read, as the reader testifies with some youthful vanity by a dash of red ink.”
Virginia Woolf, Granite and Rainbow: Essays

Gillian Clarke
“There's a side to all writers that loves nothing better than a book, a big chair, a window.”
Gillian Clarke, At the Source: A Writer's Year

Mark Doty
“To think through things, that is the still life painter’s work - and the poet’s. Both sorts of artists require a tangible vocabulary, a worldly lexicon. A language of ideas is, in itself, a phantom language, lacking in the substance of worldly things, those containers of feeling and experience, memory and time. We are instructed by the objects that come to speak with us, those material presences. Why should we have been born knowing how to love the world. We require, again and again, these demonstrations. (p10)”
Mark Doty, Still Life with Oysters and Lemon: On Objects and Intimacy

Carlos María Domínguez
“The books are advancing silently, innocently through my house. There is no way I can stop them.”
Carlos María Domínguez, The House of Paper

Anne Truitt
“What could my work [as an artist] ever mean to this man? A kind touch of my hand in a moment of fear or pain would have been more in his service than the endeavour of my whole lifetime. This incontrovertible fact stuck in my craw for weeks … he remains in my mind, central to my thoughts about my life. And to my recognition of limitation. In the range of my character at any given moment, I have acted in the only way it seemed to be that I could have acted. This in no way means that I have done what was right; only what was possible for me … It takes kindness to forgive oneself for one’s life.”
Anne Truitt, Daybook: The Journal of an Artist
