Poetry Quote by Emily St. John Mandel — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“But anyway, I look around sometimes and I think - this will maybe sound weird - it's like the corporate world's full of ghosts. And actually, let me revise that, my parents are in academia so I've had front row seats for that horror show, I know academia's no different, so maybe a fairer way of putting this would be to say that adulthood's full of ghosts.”

“To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop”

“After great pain, a formal feeling comes –”

“I am in no mood to write”

“Poetry must be as new as foam, and as old as the rock.”

“The grass as bristly and stout as chives and me wondering when the ground will break and me wondering how anything fragile survives”

“Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were”
