Quotes by Jen Craig (?)

“I have more than enough books that I want to read, more than enough essentials that I spend my time looking for in second-hand bookshops. To discover one new author – and this new author might have been dead for over a hundred years – has always been to discover a new route through the susurrus of those second-hand bookshops, another several evenings trawling the glow of Amazon lists and other better sites. I have no time to think of reading books that I have no interest in reading,”
― Jen Craig, Panthers and the Museum of Fire

“I used to think that if I were to make the effort to ring someone and actually to invite them over for a chat or out for a film, something would be created that I wouldn't have known how to control; something would be created, which, having energy in itself, its own inner momentum, would hook into my skin and kill me if it could – I would be creating something dangerous, I must have realised – and just to control this dangerous thing I would eventually have to kill it before it killed me – and yet I would never be able to kill any living thing, I had always thought – I would never be able to kill any living thing with a cold intent.”
― Jen Craig, Panthers and the Museum of Fire
