    “Ashtrays to cry into,
    the suffering brother of the wood walls,
    the forty-eight keys of the typewriter
    each an eyeball that is never shut,
    the books, each a contestant in a beauty contest,
    the black chair, a dog coffin made of Naugahyde....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I’ve been in one Derby, and this is my third Belmont. But I’ve never thought of the fact that I haven’t won a Triple Crown race. I’m not like that. I always look at the sunshine of things.”
    —Julie Krone (b. 1963)
