lord of the flies is a depressing and violent book but its also so fucking funny when you think about it like. in a meta way. the author was a teacher at an all-boys school that hated every kid he taught and was SO sick of the ‘brit kids go on adventures’ genre that he wrote a full-length novel about them absolutely LOSING it and also every kid in the book was based off a kid in his class. like if that isnt the most hilarious shit ever

“If we meet each other in Hell, it’s not Hell.”

— Geoffrey Hill, from Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012 (Oxford University Press, 2014)

In ancient Greek you use the verb άρπάζειν, which comes over into Latin as rapio, rapere, raptus sum and gives us English rapture and rape – words stained with the very early blood of girls, with the very late blood of cities, with the hysteria of the end of the world. Sometimes I think language should cover its own eyes when it speaks.

— Anne Carson, from Norma Jeane Baker of Troy

I don’t believe there is an artistic imperative to swap laughter for crying. Or “quit comedy” for “truth.” Laughter is not the opposite of the truth. When we laugh at a bad thing, that can be a big fuck you. An exercise in power and control. A claiming of irony and bawdiness. Of being unlikeable, unbelievable, unpalatable. Evidence that we survived. There can be joy in surviving and healing in joy.
