Additional quotes by Anne Carson

Where does unbelief begin? / When I was young // there were degrees of certainty. / I could say, Yes I know that I have two hands. / Then one day I awakened on a planet of people whose hands / occasionally disappear–

What are we made of but hunger and rage?

It was the hour when snow goes blue
and streetlights come on and a hare may
pause on the tree line as still as a word in a book.

Your grief is as great as your splendor was: some god is weighing the one out equal to the other. - Anne Carson
