Charles Bukowski
“225 days under grass
and you know more than I.
they have long taken your blood,
you are a dry stick in a basket.
is this how it works?
in this room
the hours of love
still make shadows.

when you left
you took almost
everything.
I kneel in the nights
before tigers
that will not let me be.

what you were
will not happen again.
the tigers have found me
and I do not care.”
Charles Bukowski, The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills

Margaret Atwood
“I saw a number of Adult pictures long before I was an adult, but no one ever questioned my age. I was quite fat by this time and all fat women look the same, they all look forty-two. Also, fat women are not more noticeable than thin women; they’re less noticeable, because people find them distressing and look away. To the ushers and the ticket sellers I must’ve appeared as a huge featureless blur. If I’d ever robbed a bank no witness would have been able to describe me accurately.”
Margaret Atwood, Lady Oracle

Annie Ernaux
“Pain cannot be kept intact, it needs to be “processed,” converted into humor.”
Annie Ernaux, I Remain in Darkness

Annie Ernaux
“To exist is to drink oneself without thirst.”
Annie Ernaux, Les Années

Annie Ernaux
“The situation is reversed, now she is my little girl. I cannot be her mother.”
Annie Ernaux, I Remain in Darkness
