I saw a beautiful woman without any clothes lying at the entrance to the town in the middle of the sniper's path. ...The people would scream at her to get up, try to drag her, finally beg her to move. But she stayed........She was safer in madness than in reality." Page 30......" Jul 11, 2016 09:24AM

"Oh This Book! We all know the tale but Ms. Williams looks at this historical record from the point of view of 2018
" Elizabeth was scandalised & also conscious of her position: if an anointed queen could be abducted, raped, imprisoned & then deposed & no one protested, then what of the right of any queen to be on the throne? She naturally feared that her enemies might be emboldened to treat her similiarly." Pg 219"

Philip Roth
“We leave a stain, we leave a trail, we leave our imprint. Impurity, cruelty, abuse, error, excrement, semen - there’s no other way to be here. Nothing to do with disobedience. Nothing to do with grace or salvation or redemption. It’s in everyone. Indwelling. Inherent. Defining. The stain that is there before its mark.”
Philip Roth, The Human Stain

John Keats
“Tis "the witching time of night", / Orbed is the moon and bright, / And the stars they glisten, glisten, / Seeming with bright eyes to listen —”
John Keats

Jean de la Fontaine
“Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.”
Jean de La Fontaine

Leonora Carrington
“I never eat meat as I think it is wrong to deprive animals of their life when they are so difficult to chew anyway”
Leonora Carrington, The Hearing Trumpet

Margaret Atwood
“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. Don't let the bastards grind you down.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
