Jeanette Winterson Quotes

Reportage Is Violence. Violence To The Spirit. Violence To The Emotional Sympathy That Should Quicken In You And Me When Face To Face We Meet With Pain. How Many Defeated Among Our Own Do We Step Over And Push Aside On Our Way Home To Watch The Evening News? "Terrible" You Said At Somalia, Bosnia, Ethiopia, Russia, China, The Indian Earthquake, The American Floods, And Then You Watched A Quiz Show Or A Film Because There's Nothing You Can Do, Nothing You Can Do, And The Fear And Unease That Such Powerlessness Brings, Trails In Its Wash, A Dead Arrogance For The Beggar On The Bridge That You Pass Every Day. Hasn't He Got Legs And A Cardboard Box To Sleep In?
And Still We Long To Feel.
