Jeanette Winterson Frases y Citas

“La verdadera Oscuridad es más densa y más silenciosa; llena el espacio que hay entre la chaqueta y el corazón. Se mete en los ojos. Cuando estoy fuera por la noche, no son los cuchillos lo que me da miedo, sino la Oscuridad. Tú que caminas tan alegremente, silbando, detente cinco minutos. Detente en la Oscuridad en un campo o en un sendero. Entonces te darás cuenta de que tu presencia es sólo tolerada. La Oscuridad sólo te permite dar un paso cada vez. El paso y la Oscuridad se cierran contra tu espalda. Delante de ti no hay espacio ninguno hasta que das el paso. La Oscuridad es absoluta. Caminar por la Oscuridad es como nadar por debajo del agua, sólo que no se puede subir a coger aire.”

Contexto: You say we are not one, you say truly there are two of us. Yes, there were two of us, but we were one. As for myself, I am splintered by great waves. I am coloured glass from a church window long since shattered. I find pieces of myself everywhere, and I cut myself handling them.

“What a strange world it is where you can have as much sex as you like but love is taboo. I'm talking about the real thing, the grand passion, which may not allow affection or convenience or happiness. The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down. That's the size of it, the immensity of it. It's not proper, it's not clean, it's not containable.”
