Every time I look at this dog, I think about doubt. And every time I think about doubt, I ask myself what it really means to think. #AnneCarson #PremioNobel #Poesía (translated)
"–The fools, they are all crazy!, says Anne Carson in a first comment to the Icelandic TV channel Rúv. When Icelandic TV reaches Anne Carson, she confirms in a segment posted by SVT that she is in Iceland 'to listen to the wind'." #Nobelpriset #AnneCarson #Litteratur (translated)
She does not like to reveal much about her privacy, stating on the covers of many of her books only that "she was born in Canada and makes a living teaching ancient Greek." She also rejects autobiographical interpretations of her work, although she simultaneously admits that she "uses motives from her life in writing in the same way as any other facts." #AnneCarson #NobelovaNagrada #književnost (translated)

If I knew what poetry is, I wouldn't need to write. It's something I search for, groping in the darkness. #AnneCarson #PremiulNobel #literatură (translated)

I do not understand how people hear and read things, I just hope that they like them. The conversation from the Swedish Academy was about, according to Anne Carson, among other things, "the weather." #Nobelpriset #litteratur #AnneCarson (translated)
In an interview with The Penn Review, Carson is asked how a poem comes to be – to which she responds by flipping the perspective: it is not she who begins the poem, but the poem that begins her. #AnneCarson #Nobelpriset #litteratur (translated)
"to simultaneously maintain two perspectives in balance" In 'Eros the Bittersweet', she talks about a 'stereoscopic vision' that allows her "to simultaneously maintain two perspectives in balance." #AnneCarson #PremiulNobel #Literatură (translated)

If prose is a house, poetry is a person in flames who runs through it quickly, #AnneCarson #NobelovaCena #literatúra (translated)
I don’t read new books. Most of the books I read are 2500 years old. #AnneCarson #Nobelpreis #Literatur (translated)
I want to move people's minds, and that is not something they naturally do on their own. We have a kind of heaviness, sitting, listening. But it is very important to get into the brain and move it somewhere it has never been. Carson himself once said: "I want to move people's minds, and that is not something they naturally do on their own. We have a kind of heaviness, sitting, listening. But it is very important to get into the brain and move it somewhere it has never been." #Literaturnobelpreis #AnneCarson #ModerneLiteratur (translated)
If prose is a house, poetry is a man on fire running at full speed through it. #AnneCarson #PremioNobel #Letteratura (translated)
In the time we live, we have lost track of two qualities that make a civilized personality possible: lightness, which allows humor without malice; and self-discipline, which gives shape to our bewilderment. Any effort that requires attention—painting, drawing, writing—can train these qualities, in my opinion. #NobelLiteratura #AnneCarson #LiteraturaContemporánea (translated)

I like thinking. I believe it is one of the most wondrous things we do as humans. And if we wish to record, express, or capture that excitement that thinking brings, the best tool is a poem. That is why I am particularly drawn to the poems of Zbigniew Herbert, which speak with the voice of Mr. Cogito and address the theme of thinking. #LiterackiNobel #AnneCarson #Poezja (translated)
If I knew what poetry is, I wouldn't need to write. #PremiulNobel #AnneCarson #Literatură (translated)
My personal poetry is a failure. #AnneCarson #PremioNobel #PoesíaContemporánea (translated)
If I knew what poetry is, I wouldn't need to write. In one of her rare interviews, Carson stated: "If I knew what poetry is, I wouldn't need to write. It's something I grope for in the dark," and also that "you write about what you want to write in the way you have to do it." #AnneCarson #PremioNobelLiteratura #Poesía (translated)
