Marguerite Young
 If you understand hallucination and illusion, you don't blindly follow any leader. You must know if the person is sane or insane, over the abyss. |
| Is it experimental to have been influenced by the Bible? By Saint Augustine? |
| It's the thing I never could write, the idea of identity and passage of the soul. |
| Just as I do not want my students to imitate my style, I admire authors who write differently from me. Lewis and Dreiser didn't try to write in a poetic style. |
| Life has no beginning, middle or end. |
| Like Kay Boyle, whose work I'm wild about, I could have married, written a book with every baby, a baby with every book. |
| My first attempt to write about Robert Owen was in the form of poetry. Then I turned it into a blank verse poem, but I discovered that I couldn't fit in all the facts, which are fabulous. I decided to rewrite it a third time, still retaining every image I had already written in the first two versions. |
| One day I bumped into a group of coal miners from the Ozarks, wandering coal miners living a gypsy life... I started to speak with these coal miners, and became very interested in them. |
| Some of the poetic writers who insert passages of realism in their texts have no underlying philosophy to uphold them, and revert to realism. |
| The asexual angel, neither male nor female... unable to live without her mask of illusions... showed herself to be the denuded character every person would be if confronted with the loss of their illusions as she was. |
| The first money I ever had was when I received an award from the American Association of University Women. |
| The first poem I ever wrote, about loss, when I was 5 years old, expressed the themes of everything I would ever write. |
| There were also some cruel reviews by women, but the tone of the male reviewers, sometimes hysterical, was different. I have suffered, but I don't want to name names-but there have been men who have seemed to want to destroy me or my writing, men I don't even know. |
| When the dream came into being, I always pursued it. |
| When you have examined all the illusions of life and know that there isn't any reality, but you nevertheless go on, then you are a mature human being. You accept the idea that it is all mask and illusion and that people are in disguise. You see the crumbling of reality and you accept it. |
