Iris Murdoch
“Yet she knew that it was not really the sharp tragic knife of passion that disturbed her now, it was some vaguer nervous storm out of her unsatisfied woman's nature.”
Iris Murdoch, The Nice and the Good

Joy Harjo
“Her own daughter
was born, like she had been, in either place
or all places, so she could leave, leap
into the sound she had always heard,
a voice like water, like the gods weaving
against sundown in a scarlet light.”
Joy Harjo, She Had Some Horses
