Quickie #2 (Fugitive Pieces)

Pick a quote and be inspired, no rhyme.
no dirty pretty, no molesting your shift key
contest is anonymous, so I don't know who you are
edit and spell check
reserve is okay but please finish
put the quote in your AN and credit Anne Michaels (she's a canadian author and poet and she's still alive so she may come after you if you don't! )

I will be giving all trophies with points and up to 2 HMs depending on the quality/quantity of entries

You have till sometime tomorrow , I may extend if it's worth it.
(ETA: June 18: THIS CONTEST WILL BE A WEEK LONG)

Be brilliant.

Quote Prompts:

"Sometimes I can't look you in the eye; you're like a building that's burned out inside, with the outer walls still standing."

"I felt compassion for the stars themselves. Aching towards us for milennia though we are blind to their signals until it's too late, starlight only the white breath of an old cry."

"History is amoral: events occured. But memory is moral; what we consciously remember is what our conscience remembers."

"But at what moment does wood become stone, peat become coal, limestone become marble? The gradual instant."

"Silence: The response to both emptiness and fullness."


****
You may be inspired by more than one...

Good luck!
