Anaïs Nin
“And silence. She liked the silence most of all. The silence in which the body, senses, the instincts, are more alert, more powerful, more sensitized, live a more richly perfumed and intoxication life, instead of transmuting into thoughts, words, into exquisite abstractions, mathematics of emotion in place of violent impact, the volcanic eruptions of fever, lust and delight.”
Anaïs Nin

Anne Carson
“Not touching but joined in astonishment as two cuts lie parallel in the same flesh.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse

E.M. Forster
“Away she hurried, not beautiful, not supremely brilliant, but filled with something that took the place of both qualities—something best described as a profound vivacity, a continual and sincere response to all that she encountered in her path through life.”
E.M. Forester, Howards End

Jane Hirshfield
“In one recorded dialogue with a student, Bashō instructed, “The problem with most poems is that they are either subjective or objective.” “Don’t you mean too subjective or too objective?” his student asked. Bashō answered, simply, “No.”
Jane Hirshfield, The Heart of Haiku

Anne Carson
“Perhaps the hardest thing about losing a lover is
to watch the year repeat its days.”
Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God
