Quotes by Gwyneth Lewis (?)

“The crucial thing here is not to listen to your mind. Your mind has got its basic communication lines crossed. If you try to fly in this flak you will shoot down your own aircraft. Keep close to yourself...fly under your own radar. Let the anti-aircraft guns discharge their ammunition into the plaid sky. Steal home, undetected even by yourself. Whatever you do, in this state, don't think.”
― Gwyneth Lewis, Sunbathing in the Rain

“When you're in the middle of your depression, pay good attention to it, because, tended carefully, you never know where it might lead you.”

“Your positive thinker may do well in suburbia but I'd rather be with a lucid depressive in the Arctic, where survival depends on precision and not fooling yourself about your chances on the ice.”
