Angela Carter Quotes
At This Time, The Cusp Of The Modern Age, The Hinge Of The Nineteenth Century, Had A Plebiscite Been Taken Amongst All The Inhabitants Of The World, By Far The Great Number Of Them, Occupied As They Were Throughout The Planet With Daily Business Of Agriculture Of The Slash And Burn Variety, Warfare, Metaphysics And Procreation, Would Have Heartily Concurred With These Indigenous Siberians That The Whole Idea Of The Twentieth Century, Or Any Other Century At All, For That Matter, Was A Rum Notion. Had The Global Plebiscite Been Acted Upon In A Democratic Manner, The Twentieth Century Would Have Forthwith Ceased To Exist, The Entire System Of Dividing Up Years By One Hundred Would Have Been Abandoned And Time, By Popular Consent, Would Have Stood Still.
