Anne Sexton
“Only my books anoint me,
and a few friends,
those who reach into my veins.”
Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

Nicholas Shakespeare
“What they say here is true. Love is eternal for as long as it lasts.”
Nicholas Shakespeare

Colum McCann
“And I suddenly think, as I look across the table at him, that these are the days as they will be. This is the future as we see it. The swerve and the static. The confidence and the doubt.”
Colum McCann, Let the Great World Spin

Nicholas Shakespeare
“We're none of us, are we, just one thing? I am a policeman, but also a father, a husband for the time being, a nursemaid to a sister who I pray will survive her illness. You are a journalist, a writer, and I don't know what else besides. To look at a person from a single angle is to deform them. Even if Yolanda is guilty...she is also afraid of the dark. And I cannot forget that I put her there.”
Nicholas Shakespeare

Nicholas Shakespeare
“Tell me. You're a man who understands history," I said. "If you want to start a revolution, why not issue a manifesto? Why not show the people who you are, what you're doing?"
He leaned back, grateful to explain. "That's perfectly understandable. Socrates wrote nothing down. Neither did Jesus. The problem with text is that it assumes it's own reality. It cannot answer, and it cannot explain.”
Nicholas Shakespeare, The Dancer Upstairs
