“What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don't want you to come too close.

― Jeanette Winterson

“Sitting here, and thus, she had attained to a state which she could never have desired, not even conceived.

― Sylvia Townsend Warner, Summer Will Show
