“Irony has only emergency use. Carried over time it is the voice of the trapped who have come to enjoy their cage.”
― Alcohol and Poetry: John Berryman and the Booze Talking
― Alcohol and Poetry: John Berryman and the Booze Talking
“Most artists are brought to their vocation when their own nascent gifts are awakened by the work of a master. That is to say, most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one's voice isn't just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses. Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. Any artist knows these truths, no matter how deeply he or she submerges that knowing.”
― The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property

“Better to operate with detachment, then; better to have a way but infuse it with a little humor; best, to have no way at all but to have instead the wit constantly to make one's way anew from the materials at hand.”
