Additional quotes by Muriel Rukeyser

The days grow and the stars cross over
And my wild bed turns slowly among the stars.

"And still go down.
Now ladder-mouth; and the precipitous fear,
uncertain rungs down into after-night.
"This is the place. Away from this my life
I am indeed Adam unparadiz'd.
Some fools call this the Black Hole of Calcutta,
I don't know how they ever get to Congress.

I am working out the vocabulary of my silence.

"The man in the white coat is the man on the hill, the man with the clean hands is the man with the drill, the man who answers "yes" lies still." - Muriel Rukeyser
