Saul Bellow
“...I am not at all sorry to part with the rest of it. I am no longer to be held accountable for myself. I am grateful for that. I am in other hands, relieved of self determination, freedom canceled. Hooray for regular hours! And, for the supervision of the spirit! Long live regimentation.”
Saul Bellow, Dangling Man

Audre Lorde
“I am listening in that fine space between desire and always the grave stillness before choice.”
Audre Lorde, The Marvelous Arithmetics of Distance: Poems, 1987-1992

Friedrich Nietzsche
“My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Kay Ryan
“One need not smoke
to inhale. The air
in bars holds its
load of tars in stale suspension.
Also jails. Jails
are a prison for
the person who
abhors smoke.
But happily
gorgeous thought
also hangs around
like that: you can
walk through a mist
of Brodsky and contact-
exist.”
Kay Ryan, Erratic Facts

Agha Shahid Ali
“Stationary"

The moon did not become the sun.
It just fell on the desert
in great sheets, reams
of silver handmade by you.
The night is your cottage industry now,
the day is your brisk emporium.
The world is full of paper.

Write to me.”
Agha Shahid Ali, The Veiled Suite: The Collected Poems
