Jeanette Winterson
“I did not realize that when money becomes a core value, then education drives towards utility or that the life of the mind will not be counted as good unless it produces measurable results. That public services will no longer be important. That an alternative life to getting and spending will become very difficult as cheap housing disappears. That when communities are destroyed only misery and intolerance are left.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

Hélène Cixous
“Me too, I make do, I anoint what cannot be fixed.”
Hélène Cixous

Leo Tolstoy
“You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Charles Bukowski
“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”
Charles Bukowski

Jeanette Winterson
“I am not a fan of supermarkets and I hate shopping there, even for things I can't get elsewhere, like cat food and bin bags. A big part of my dislike of them is the loss of vivid life. The dull apathy of existence now isn't just boring jobs and boring TV; it is the loss of vivid life on the streets; the gossip, the encounters, the heaving messy noise that made room for everyone, money or not.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
