Angela Carter
“To ride a bicycle is in itself some protection against superstitious fears, since the bicycle is the product of pure reason applied to motion. Geometry at the service of man! Give me two spheres and a straight line and I will show you how far I can take them. Voltaire himself might have invented the bicycle, since it contributes so much to man’s welfare and nothing at all to his bane. Beneficial to the health, it emits no harmful fumes and permits only the most decorous speeds. How can a bicycle ever be an implement of harm?”
Angela Carter

Kurt Cobain
“I mean I like to be passionate and sincere but I also like to have fun and act like a dork. Geeks unite.”
Kurt Cobain

Angela Carter
“She herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening.”
Angela Carter, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories

Angela Carter
“He is the intermediary between us, his audience, the living, and they, the dolls, the undead, who cannot live at all and yet who mimic the living in every detail since, though they cannot speak or weep, still they project those signals of signification we instantly recognize as language.”
Angela Carter, Wayward Girls and Wicked Women

Angela Carter
“Amongst the monsters, I am well hidden; who looks for a leaf in a forest?”
Angela Carter, Nights at the Circus
