But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
