Amelie Nothomb Quotes

Society Conspires Against Her From Early Infancy. Her Brain Is Steadily Filled With Plaster Until It Sets: 'If You're Not Married By The Time You're Twenty-five, You'll Have Good Reason To Be Ashamed'; 'if You Laugh, You Won't Look Dignified' ; 'if Your Face Betrays Your Feelings, You'll Look Coarse'; 'if You Mention The Existence Of A Single Body Hair, You're Repulsive' ; 'if A Boy Kisses You On The Cheek In Public, You're A Whore'; If You Enjoy Eating, You're A Pig'; 'if You Take Pleasure In Sleeping, You're No Better Than A Cow'; And So On.

These Precepts Would Be Merely Anecdotal If They Weren't Taken So Much To Heart.
