Famous Kay Ryan Quotes

“It’s hard not
to jump out
instead of
waiting to be
found. It’s
hard to be
alone so long
and then hear
someone come
around. It’s
like some form
of skin’s developed
in the air
that, rather
than have torn,
you tear.

“Gaps don't/just happen./There is a/generative element/inside them,/a welling motion/
