Jeffrey Eugenides
“We couldn't imagine the emptiness of a creature who put a razor to her wrists and opened her veins, the emptiness and the calm.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“Witch, scholar, poet, dreamer, and the rest...”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh

T.S. Eliot
“Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?”

<...>

Go, said the bird, for the leaves were full of children,
Hidden excitedly, containing laughter.
Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.”
T. S. Eliot Four Quartets

Jeffrey Eugenides
“She'd become an English major for the purest and dullest of reasons: because she loved to read.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“The world of books is still the world.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh
