More quotes by Alicia Ostriker
An essay is my way of pursuing an elusive intuition into the forest of what I cannot yet understand.
Much more killing has been done by people who believed in heaven than by those who didn’t.
Let us never suppose that the structures of our human minds can contain God.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
