Did I ever tell you how much I like Anne Carson? Have a look at this:

 

I hate traveling … you don’t think until you stumble on something, traveling makes you stumble all the time. Its spooky. Stumbling is good for writing …

– Anne  Carson  (2001)

 

Quad (1981)  a television play by Samuel Beckett

I love Beckett … especially his face  

– Anne  Carson  (2001)

    wonderful! I love that she’s very down to earth. “I’d love to say something profound like ‘life is like a road’ but I don’t believe in any of that.” people laugh (I did too), but she’s rather serious isn’t she?

    thank you for sharing!

      I see her as serious in a playful way – or the other way around …
