Angela Carter Quotes

MINISTER: All He Has Done Is To Find Some Means Of Bewitching The Intelligence. He Has Only Induced A Radical Suspension Of Disbelief. As In The Early Days Of The Cinema, All The Citizens Are Jumping Through The Screen To Lay Their Hands On The Naked Lady In The Bathtub!
AMBASSADOR: And Yet, In Fact, Their Fingers Touch Flesh.
MINISTER: They Believe They Do. Yet All They Touch Is Substantial Shadow.
AMBASSADOR: And What A Beautiful Definition Of Flesh! You Know I Am Only Substantial Shadow, Minister, But If You Cut Me, I Bleed. Touch Me, I Palpitate!
