Laura (Riding) Jackson
“People will think you brilliant
only if you tell them what they know.
To avoid being thought brilliant,
avoid knowing what they know.
Write to discover to yourself
what you know.

Anarchism is Not Enough”
Laura Riding

Roland Barthes
“Each of us has his own rhythm of suffering.”
Roland Barthes

Jean Genet
“Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.”
Jean Genet

Omar Khayyám
“This clay, so strong of heart, of sense so fine,

Surely such clay is more than half divine--

'Tis only fools speak evil of the clay,

The very stars are made of clay like mine.”
Omar Khayyam

Michel Leiris
“I am imbued with the notion that a Muse is necessarily a dead woman, inaccessible or absent; that a poetic structure - like the canon, which is only a hole surrounded by steel - can be based only on what one does not have; and that ultimately one can write only to fill a void or at the least to situate, in relation to the most lucid part of ourselves, the place where this incommensurable abyss yawns within us.”
Michel Leiris
