Dolly Alderton
“Do the transgressions of the artist undermine the pleasure to be found in the art?”
Dolly Alderton, Ghosts

Dolly Alderton
“(...) maybe that’s all love is. So much is how we perceive someone and the memories we have of them, rather than the facts of who they are. Maybe instead of saying I love you we should say I imagine you.”
Dolly Alderton, Ghosts

Dolly Alderton
“Because these men wanted to want something rather than have something. Max wanted to be tortured, he wanted to yearn and chase and dream. He wanted to exist in a liminal state, like everything was just about to begin. He liked contemplating what our relationship might be like, without investing any time or commitment in our relationship.”
Dolly Alderton, Ghosts

Dolly Alderton
“They weren’t ready to be adults, to make any choices, let alone promises. They preferred a relationship to be virtual and speculative, because when it was virtual and speculative, it could be perfect. Their girlfriend didn’t have to be human. They didn’t have to think about plans or practicalities, they weren’t burdened with the concern of another person’s happiness.”
Dolly Alderton, Ghosts

Dolly Alderton
“I’d noticed this was a thing that people did when they got into their thirties: they saw every personal decision you made as a direct judgement on their life.”
Dolly Alderton, Ghosts
