“I had once believed that life could be ordered, that people could be arranged into categories, that love could be a simple and precise thing. But now I see it is like an infinite fractal pattern, endlessly complex and full of unresolvable contradictions. The closer I get, the more obscure it becomes. There are no answers to the fundamental questions. People are not as we imagine them. They are not our mirror images, nor are they the figures of our fantasies. They are infinitely strange. And that strangeness, that terrifying unknowability, is what makes them so cruel.”

— Iris Murdoch

“It is extraordinary that nobody nowadays under the stress of great troubles is turned into stone or a bird or a tree or some inanimate object; they used to undergo such metamorphoses in ancient times (or so they say), though whether that is myth or a true story I know not. Maybe it would be better to change one’s nature into something that lacks all feeling, rather than be so sensitive to evil. Had that been possible, these calamities would in all probability have turned me to stone.”

— The Alexiad, written by Anna Komnene, the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, c. 1148.

“Poetry in general doesn’t do anything, there are just individual poems. Some of them I don’t get, some of them seem banal, some of them change my life. So there you go. It’s bound to be a spectrum, it’s the same with bagels.”

— Anne Carson, in a CBC Interview, 10/30/2016, about Ben Lerner’s book The Hatred of Poetry
