Kay Ryan Quotes

One can’t work/by limelight.//A bowlful/right at/one’s elbow//produces no/more than/a baleful/glow against/the kitchen table.//The fruit purveyor’s/whole unstable/pyramid//doesn’t equal/what daylight did Picture Quote #1
A too closely watched flower/blossoms the wrong color./Excess attention to the jonquil/turns it gentian. Flowers/need it tranquil to get/their hues right. Some/only open at midnight Picture Quote #1
As for reality, I don’t even have any interest in that word Picture Quote #1
Action creates/a taste/for itself Picture Quote #1

Failure: the renewable resource Picture Quote #1
I have tried to live very quietly, so I could be happy Picture Quote #1
The day misspent, the love misplaced, has inside it the seed of redemption. Nothing is exempt from resurrection Picture Quote #1
It’s important to have your private enjoyments because sometimes that’s all we have Picture Quote #1
It seems like many people think that if you drive yourself crazy, then you can write. I’m absolutely not interested in that. It made sense to me to be as whole and well as I could be, and as happy. I wanted to see what a fortunate life would produce. What writing would come out of a mind that didn’t try to torment itself? What did I have to know? What did I have to do rather than what can I torment and bend myself into doing? What was the fruit on that tree? Picture Quote #1
A lot of the job that one has to do as a writer is to protect the thing that doesn’t match the world Picture Quote #1

Small presses take chances. Chances are at the heart of all the literature we later know as great Picture Quote #1
I don’t think any poetry is written that isn’t primarily written to the self, in a way... I’m always talking to myself. But I seem to want somebody else to listen to it. I need, I do want an audience. So it’s a strange thing. It’s a very private conversation that then, you make public, kind of like the starfish flipping its stomach out Picture Quote #1
What keeps me writing is that I can only know through writing. My major sense organ is apparently a pencil Picture Quote #1
If we have not struggled/as hard as we can/at our strongest/how will we sense/the shape of our losses/or know what sustains/us longest or name/what change costs us,/saying how strange/it is that one sector/of the self can step in/for another in trouble,/how loss activates/a latent double, how/we can feed/as upon nectar/upon need? Picture Quote #1
Who would have guessed it possible that waiting is sustainable. A place with its own harvest Picture Quote #1
