Text Quotes
To share a hiding place, physical or psychological, is as intimate as love (Anne Michaels Quotes)
But sometimes the world disrobes, slips its dress off a shoulder, stops time for a beat. If we look up at that moment, it’s not due to any ability of ours to pierce the darkness, it’s the world’s brief bestowal. The catastrophe of grace (Anne Michaels Quotes)
It’s not a person’s depth you must discover, but their ascent. Find their path from depth to ascent. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
It is not a person’s depth you must discover, but their ascent. Find their path from depth to ascent. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
I’m naive enough to think that love is always good no matter how long ago, no matter the circumstances. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
I really believe we read differently when we know even the most banal facts of an author’s life. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
I’m not being naive; I realise there’s no such thing as a pure reading. But I’d rather keep myself as far out of it as I can. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
I’ve said this before - and I mean it strongly - an abstract concept or a moral issue has to be connected to feeling. If we don’t believe it somehow viscerally, we don’t really take it in. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Any given moment - no matter how casual, how ordinary - is poised, full of gaping life (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Long after you’ve forgotten someone’s voice, you can still remember the sound of their happiness or their sadness. You can feel it in your body. (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Some stones are so heavy only silence helps you carry them! (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Reading a poem in translation is like kissing a woman through a veil (Anne Michaels Quotes)
I see that I must give what I most need (Anne Michaels Quotes)
The best teacher lodges an intent not in the mind but in the heart (Anne Michaels Quotes)
The truth doesn’t care what we think of it (Anne Michaels Quotes)
History is the gradual instant (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Though the contradictions of war seem sudden and simultaneous, history stalks before it strikes. Something tolerated soon becomes something good (Anne Michaels Quotes)
When a man dies, his secrets bond like crystals, like frost on a window. His last breath obscures the glass (Anne Michaels Quotes)
No one is born just once. If you’re lucky, you’ll emerge again in someone’s arms; or unlucky, wake when the long tail of terror brushes the inside of your skull (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Translation is a kind of transubstantiation; one poem becomes another. You can choose your philosophy of translation just as you choose how to live: the free adaptation that sacrifices detail to meaning, the strict crib that sacrifices meaning to exactitude. The poet moves from life to language, the translator moves from language to life; both, like the immigrant, try to identify the invisible, what’s between the lines, the mysterious implications (Anne Michaels Quotes)
History and memory share events; that is, they share time and space. Every moment is two moments (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Hold a book in your hand and you’re a pilgrim at the gates of a new city (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Long after you’ve forgotten someone’s voice, you can still remember the sound of their happiness or their sadness. You can feel it in your body (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Once I was lost in a forest. I was so afraid. My blood pounded in my chest and I knew my heart’s strength would soon be exhausted. I saved myself without thinking. I grasped the two syllables closest to me, and replaced my heartbeat with your name (Anne Michaels Quotes)
The shadow past is shaped by everything that never happened. Invisible, it melts the present like rain through karst (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Like other ghosts, she whispers; not for me to join her, but so that, when I’m close enough, she can push me back into the world (Anne Michaels Quotes)
Important lessons: look carefully; record what you see. Find a way to make beauty necessary; find a way to make necessity beautiful (Anne Michaels Quotes)
I’m naive enough to think that love is always good no matter how long ago, no matter the circumstances (Anne Michaels Quotes)
If love wants you; if you’ve been melted down to stars, you will love with lungs and gills; with feathers and scales; with warm blood and cold (Anne Michaels Quotes)
When my parents were liberated, four years before I was born, they found that the ordinary world outside the camp had been eradicated. There was no more simple meal, no thing was less than extraordinary: a fork, a mattress, a clean shirt, a book. Not to mention such things that can make one weep: an orange, meat and vegetables, hot water. There was no ordinariness to return to, no refuge from the blinding potency of things, an apple screaming its sweet juice (Anne Michaels Quotes)
