Anne Carson
“Men know almost nothing about desire, they think it has to do with sexual activity or can be discharged that way. But sex is a substitute, like money or language. Sometimes I just want to stop seeing.”
Anne Carson

Oscar Wilde
“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”
Oscar Wilde

Clarice Lispector
“The world's continual breathing is what we hear and call silence.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Clarice Lispector
“Holding someone's hand was always my idea of joy. Often before falling asleep - in that small struggle not to lose consciousness and enter the greater world - often, before having the courage to go toward the greatness of sleep, I pretend that someone is holding my hand and I go, go toward the enormous absence of form that is sleep. And when even then I can't find the courage, then I dream.”
Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.

Anne Carson
“Then a miracle occurred in the form of a plate of sandwiches.
Geryon took three and buried his mouth in a delicious block of white bread filled with tomatoes and butter and salt.
He thought about how delicious it was, how he liked slippery foods, how slipperiness can be of different kinds.
I am a philosopher of sandwiches, he decided. Things good on the inside.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red
