More From Angela Carter
- "Aeneas carried his aged father on his back from the ruins of Troy and so do we all, whether we like it or not, perhaps even if we have never known them."
- "It’s every woman’s tragedy, that, after a certain age, she looks like a female impersonator. Mind you, we’ve known some lovely female impersonators, in our time."
- "What is marriage but prostitution to one man instead of many?"
More In Death
- "I think Prince should open up a little more to other artists. Just because we love Prince. Especially the old stuff – we love him to death. But if he opened up he would be something to deal with. Imagine Kanye West producing a Prince track? It would be banoodles!"― Jamie Foxx
- "It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we’re alive – to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are."― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
- "The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror – not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray."― David Byrne
