Terry Pratchett
- Thief of Time
The thing is, I mean, there's times when you look at the universe and you think, "What about me?" and you can just hear the universe replying, "Well, what about you?"
Anna Akhmatova
- You Will Hear Thunder
You will hear thunder and remember me, and think: she wanted storms. The rim of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, and your heart, as it was then, will be on fire.
Kaveh Akbar
- Calling a Wolf a Wolf
All I want is to finally take off my cowboy hat and show you my jeweled horns. If we slow dance I will ask you not to tug on them, but secretly, I will want that very much.
Franny Choi
- Catastrophe is Next to Godliness
Lord, I confess I want the clarity of catastrophe but not the catastrophe. Like everyone else, I want a storm I can dance in. I want an excuse to change my life.
Margaret Atwood
- Crow Song
I know you would like a god to come down and feed you and punish you. That overcoat on sticks is not alive. There are no angels but the angels of hunger, prehensile and soft as gullets. Watching you.
