Jeanette Winterson Quotes

The Fatal Combination Of Indulgence Without Feeling Disgusts Me. Strange To Be Both Greedy And Dead. For Myself, I Prefer To Hold My Desires Just Out Of Reach Of Appetite, To Keep Myself Honed And Sharp. I Want The Keen Edge Of Longing. It Is So Easy To Be A Brute And Yet It Has Become Rather Fashionable. Is That The Consequence Of Leaving Your Body To Science? Of Assuming That Another Pill, Another Drug, Another Car, Another Pocket-sized Home-movie Station, A DNA Transfer, Or The Complete Freedom Of Choice That Five Hundred TV Channels Must Bring, Will Make Everything All Right? Will Soothe The Nagging Pain In The Heart That The Latest Laser Scan Refuses To Diagnose? The Doctor's Surgery Is Full Of Men And Women Who Do Not Know Why They Are Unhappy. "Take This", Says The Doctor, "you'll Soon Feel Better." They Do Not Feel Better, Because, Little By Little, They Cease To Feel At All.
