More From May Sarton

A dialogue is very important. it is a form of communication in which question and answer continue till a question is left without an answer. thus the question is suspended between the two persons involved in this answer and question. it is like a bud with untouched blossoms . . . if the question is left totally untouched by thought, it then has its own answer because the questioner and answerer, as persons, have disappeared. this is a form of dialogue in which investigation reaches a certain point of intensity and depth, which then has a quality that thought can never reach.
Communication Two Important
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

To this day, if you ask me how i became a writer, i cannot give you an answer. to this day, if you ask me how a book is written, i cannot answer. for long periods, if i didn't know that somehow in the past i had written a book, i would have given up.

A picture can be an answer as well as a question but if you can't answer your question try to question your question... there can be questions without answers but no answers without questions.

I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. and parts are written better when you're older. when you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. you're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. so i find it just much more liberating.

Each religion necessarily contradicts every other religion, and probably contradicts itself. religions, like languages, are necessary rivals. what religion a man shall have is a historical accident, quite as much as what language he shall speak.

"if you paid me for work," continued max, whose rhetoric was more sophisticated than you might expect from a man with food in his beard, "i wouldn't have to feel worthless. there's not law says old people have to feel worthless all the while, you know. you paid me, i'd have some dignity." now it was mile's turn to nod and smile agreeably. "i think the dignity ship set sail a long time ago, dad."
