Eileen Myles
“But if I paid attention, really paid attention maybe I could ignore the mountain of sadness and she might entertain and distract me and I would think this is life. The romance and the sadness. I am in it now. I did do that which is what happened.”
Eileen Myles, Inferno

Anaïs Nin

Anne Sexton
“Live or die, but don't poison everything.”
Anne Sexton

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Or both. Usually both.”
Eileen Myles, Inferno
