“I killed a plant once because I gave
it too much water. Lord, I worry
that love is violence.”
José Olivarez, Citizen Illegal

N.M. Sanchez
“I wish I wasn't such a dreamer. I've ruined this life for myself.”
N.M. Sanchez, Initial Meeting

Benoît B. Mandelbrot
“Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.”
Benoît Mandelbrot

Sylvia Plath
“When they asked some old Roman philosopher or other how he wanted to die, he said he would open his veins in a warm bath. I thought it would be easy, lying in the tub and seeing the redness flower from my wrists, flush after flush through the clear water, till I sank to sleep under a surface gaudy of poppies.

But when it came right down to it, the sink of my wrist looked so white and defenseless that I couldn't do it. It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn't in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get at.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Do you imagine at night someone
going to bed the very moment
you are going to bed? Turning
out the light?
And isn’t it so quiet you swear
the heart is telepathic.
Isn’t it–

from “Eros in His Striped Shirt”
Beckian Fritz Goldberg, In the Badlands of Desire
