"Translation is an interestingly different way to be involved both with poetry and with the language that I’ve found myself living in much of the time. I think the two feed each other."

More From Marilyn Hacker
- "As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down."
- "Everyone thinks they’re going to write one book of poems or one novel."
- "I have experienced healing through other writers’ poetry, but there’s no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I’ll write a bad poem."

- "That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end."― Francis Quarles
- "I’ve got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn’t going to happen, you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you."― Courteney Cox
- "Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine."― Charles Dickens
