Additional quotes by Anne Carson

What are we made of but hunger and rage?

DEATH
. . .
And now you are here to fight for this woman.
You know her promise is given.
She has to die or her husband won't go free.

APOLLO
Relax, I'm not breaking any laws.

DEATH

APOLLO
I always carry a bow, it's my trademark.

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.
