More quotes by Angela Carter
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.
Angela Carter
One day, Annabel saw the sun and moon in the sky at the same time. The sight filled her with a terror which entirely consumed her and did not leave her until the night closed in catastrophe for she had no instinct for self-preservation if she was confronted by ambiguities.
Angela Carter
What a joy it is to dance and sing!
Angela Carter
Home is where the heart is and hence a movable feast.
Angela Carter
Moonlight, white satin, roses. A bride.
Angela Carter
Nostalgia, the vice of the aged. We watch so many old movies our memories come in monochrome.
Angela Carter
Some cities are women and must be loved others are men and can only be admired or bargained with
Angela Carter
Those are the voices of my brothers, darling I love the company of wolves.
Angela Carter
I haven't changed much, over the years. I use less adjectives, now, and have a kinder heart, perhaps.
Angela Carter
A mother is always a mother, since a mother is a biological fact, whilst a father is a movable feast.
Angela Carter
I think I want to be in love with you but I don't know how.
Angela Carter
As for my father, few souls are less troubled. He can be simply pleased with us, pleased that we exist, and, from the vantage point of his wondrously serene old age, he contemplates our lives almost as if they were books he can dip into whenever he wants. His back pages, perhaps.
Angela Carter
I see her as a series of marvellous shapes formed at random in the kaleidoscope of desire.
Angela Carter
Sad so sad, those smoky-rose, smoky-mauve evenings of late Autumn, sad enough to pierce the heart.
Angela Carter
Anxiety is the beginning of conscience, which is the parent of the soul but is not compatible with innocence.
Angela Carter
Is not this world an illusion? And yet it fools everybody.
Angela Carter
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Angela Carter
We must all make do with the rags of love we find flapping on the scarecrow of humanity.
Angela Carter
The wolf is carnivore incarnate and he's as cunning as he is ferocious once he's had a taste of flesh then nothing else will do.
Angela Carter
Though I still turn up my coat-collar in a lonely way and am always looking at myself in mirrors, they’re only habits and give no clue at all to my character, whatever that is. The most difficult performance in the world is acting naturally isn’t it? Everything else is artful.
Angela Carter
