Rebecca Lindenberg
“FRAGMENT, I am a fragment of us. I am a fragment composed
of fragments. Mosaic, pastiche, ruin. Everyday
consciousness proposes lightbulb, ropeswing, teapot,
David Bowie, your sweater on, your sweater off, tomatillo,
all associated. Parts suggesting the whole
they long to be gathered into.”
Rebecca Lindenberg, Love, an Index

Robert Penn Warren
“Tell me a story of deep delight.”
Robert Penn Warren

Madeleine L'Engle
“In the day school she went to in New York she had long intimate conversations with them all in her imagination, but never in reality.”
Madeleine L'Engle, And Both Were Young

Susan Cain
“The highly sensitive [introverted] tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions--sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments--both physical and emotional--unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss--another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.”
Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Sylvia Plath
“Spiderlike, I spin mirrors,
Loyal to my image.”
Sylvia Plath
