Angela Carter
In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.
Angela Carter
Our fingernails match our toenails, match our lipstick match our rouge...The habit of applying warpaint outlasts the battle.
Angela Carter
I haven't changed much, over the years. I use less adjectives, now, and have a kinder heart, perhaps.
Angela Carter
I desire therefore I exist.
Angela Carter
Hollywood... was the place where the United States perpetrated itself as a universal dream and put the dream into mass production.
Angela Carter
They will be like shadows, they will be like wraiths, gray members of a congregation of nightmare hark! his long wavering howl . . . an aria of fear made audible. The wolfsong is the sound of the rending you will suffer, in itself a murdering.
Angela Carter
Love is desire sustained by unfulfilment.
Angela Carter
His main principles were indeed as follows: everything it is possible to imagine can also exist.
Angela Carter
If the Barbarians are destroyed, who will we then be able to blame for the bad things?
