Paul Laurence Dunbar
“RETORT

"Thou art a fool," said my head to my heart,
"Indeed, the greatest of fools thou art,
To be led astray by the trick of a tress,
By a smiling face or a ribbon smart;"
And my heart was in sore distress.

Then Phyllis came by, and her face was fair,
The light gleamed soft on her raven hair;
And her lips were blooming a rosy red.
Then my heart spoke out with a right bold air:
"Thou art worse than a fool, O head!”
Paul Laurence Dunbar

Boualem Sansal
“Religion might make us love God
but there is nothing stronger than religion
to make us despise man and hate humankind.”
Boualem Sansal, 2084: La fin du monde

Halldór Laxness
“If there is such a thing as sin, then it is a sin not to be able to play a musical instrument.”
Halldór Laxness, The Atom Station

“Gentleman wanted:
must have clown-suit, powder and paint, scarlet quiff, scarlet heart.
Green eyebrows essential.
Should be able to dance,
laugh,
sing;
be a masked god on a high wire stretched from alpha to omega
over this fleapit, waiting for encores”.”
Ardengo Soffici

Georgia   Scott
“[Greens] don't come through the back door the same as other groceries. They don't cower at the bottom of paper bags marked 'Liberty.' They wave over the top. They don't stop to be checked off the receipt. They spill out onto the counter. No going onto shelves with cans in orderly lines like school children waiting for recess. No waiting, sometimes for years beyond the blue sell by date, to be picked up and taken from the shelf. Greens don't stack or stand at attention. They aren't peas to be pushed around. Cans can't contain them. Boxed in they would burst free. Greens are wild. Plunging them into a pot took some doing. Only lobsters fight more. Either way, you have to use your hands. Then, retrieving them requires the longest of my mother's wooden spoons, the one with the burnt end. Swept onto a plate like the seaweed after a storm, greens sit tall, dark, and proud.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me
