Question of the Week - Question of the Week #20: Potent Quotables
First, I have a mouth like a sailor, so these are probably my most-quoted: Heathers -- "F*** me gently with a chainsaw," and Ginsberg's "America" -- "America/Go f*** yourself with your atom bomb." Others: Anne Sexton, from "With Mercy For The Greedy" --"My friend, my friend, I was born/ doing reference work in sin, and born/ confessing it. This is what poems are:/with mercy/ for the greedy,/ they are the tongue's wrangle,/ the world's pottage, the rat's star." Again, Sexton, from "Live" -- "I say Live, Live because of the sun,/the dream, the excitable gift." Lots from Bret Easton Ellis' "Less Than Zero" -- "Disappear Here," "People are afraid to merge," etc. There are lots more, lots better, but I can't think of the exact phrasing at the moment. And lyrics, constantly quoting lyrics. Etc.
