John Cameron Mitchell
“It is clear that I must find my other half. But is it a he or a she? What does this person look like? Identical to me? Or somehow complementary? Does my other half have what I don't? Did he get the looks? The luck? The love? Were we really separated forceably or did he just run off with the good stuff? Or did I? Will this person embarrass me? What about sex? Is that how we put ourselves back together again? Or can two people actually become one again?”
John Cameron Mitchell, Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Ernest Hemingway
“Fish," he said, "I love you and respect you very much. But I will kill you dead before this day ends.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Sylvia Plath
“Soon, soon the flesh
The grave cave ate will be
At home on me

And I a smiling woman.
I am only thirty.
And like the cat I have nine times to die.

This is Number Three.
What a trash
To annihilate each decade.

--from "Lady Lazarus", written 23-29 October 1962”
Sylvia Plath, Ariel

Sylvia Plath
“You do not do, you do not do
Any more, black shoe
In which I have lived like a foot
For thirty years, poor and white,
Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.”
Sylvia Plath Daddy

Sylvia Plath
“Nigger-eye
Berries cast dark
Hooks --

Black sweet blood mouthfuls,
Shadows.”
Sylvia Plath, Ariel
