Anne Carson
“Philosophers say man forms himself in dialogue.”
Anne Carson, The Beauty of the Husband: A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos

Anne Carson
“All myth is an enriched pattern,
a two-faced proposition,
allowing its operator to say one thing and mean another, to lead a double life.
Hence the notion found early in ancient thought that all poets are liars.
And from the true lies of poetry
trickled out a question.

What really connects words and things?”
Anne Carson, The Beauty of the Husband: A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos

Anne Carson
“Repression speaks about sex better than any other form of discourse / or so the modern experts maintain. How do people / get power over one another? is an algebraic question”
Anne Carson, The Beauty of the Husband: A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos

Philip Roth
“Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.”
Philip Roth

Anne Carson
“You used to say. "Desire doubled is love and love doubled is madness."
Madness doubled is marriage
I added
when the caustic was cool, not intending to produce
a golden rule.”
Anne Carson, The Beauty of the Husband: A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos
