"Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief."
— Anne Carson (Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides)

"Then a miracle occurred in the form of a plate of sandwiches.
Geryon took three and buried his mouth in a delicious block of white bread filled with tomatoes and butter and salt.
He thought about how delicious it was, how he liked slippery foods, how slipperiness can be of different kinds.
I am a philosopher of sandwiches, he decided. Things good on the inside."
— Anne Carson (Autobiography of Red)
