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.”
