More quotes by Katherine Dunn
Oh, of course, I always feel unconfident.
Katherine Dunn
There are the those whose own vulgar normality is so apparent and stultifying that they strive to escape it. They affect flamboyant behaviour and claim originality according to the fashionable eccentricities of their time. They claim brains or talent or indifference to mores in desperate attempts to deny their own mediocrity.
Katherine Dunn
It goes in streaks. But some things never go out of fashion.' Hunger artists, fat folks, giants, and dog acts come and go but real freaks never lose their appeal.
Katherine Dunn
Were also far enough from the publishing power that we have no access to the politics of publishing, although there are interpersonal politics, of course.
Katherine Dunn

Katherine Dunn
We survive until, by sheer stamina, we escape into the dim innocence of our own adulthood and its forgetfulness.
Katherine Dunn
Defining men as the perpetrators of all violence is a viciously immoral judgment of an entire gender. And defining women as inherently nonviolent condemns us to the equally restrictive role of sweet, meek, and weak.
Katherine Dunn
Suddenly the staggering love bursts away from me like milk from a smashed glass.
Katherine Dunn
Every doorway, every intersection has a story.
Katherine Dunn
In our struggle to restrain the violence and contain the damage, we tend to forget that the human capacity for aggression is more than a monstrous defect, that it is also a crucial survival tool.
Katherine Dunn
My worst is all out in the open. It makes it necessary for people to tell you about themselves.
Katherine Dunn
My paintings are reflections of my own inner mysteries... they all reflect my relationship to my steadiest of companions and muses - nature and animals.
Katherine Dunn
But the animation has become very good, and I think that a movie is not a book, and a book is not a movie.
Katherine Dunn
I think genetic research is a fascinating and fertile area.
Katherine Dunn
And while national military forces have historically resisted the full participation of women soldiers, female talent has found plenty of scope in revolutionary and terrorist groups around the planet.
Katherine Dunn
The truth is always an insult or a joke, lies are generally tastier. We love them. The nature of lies is to please. Truth has no concern for anyone's comfort
