    “My consciousness-raising group is still going on. Every Monday night it meets, somewhere in Greenwich Village, and it drinks a lot of red wine and eats a lot of cheese. A friend of mine who is in it tells me that at the last meeting, each of the women took her turn to explain, in considerable detail, what she was planning to stuff her Thanksgiving turkey with. I no longer go to the group.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)

    and you can’t get out
    till Monday morning or, worse,
    till the cops come.”
    —Philip Levine (b. 1928)

    “All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “Soldier, there is a war between the mind
    And sky, between thought and day and night. It is

    Patches the moon together in his room
    To his Virgilian cadences, up down,
    Up down. It is a war that never ends.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
