"Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us."

"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

"I haven't changed much, over the years. I use less adjectives, now, and have a kinder heart, perhaps."

Heart

Quote_1.png
Angela Carter
"I think it's one of the scars in our culture that we have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the higher primates."

Self-Perception

Angela Carter
"Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people."

Angela Carter
"The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick."

Experience

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."

"Soon, nostalgia will be another name for Europe."

Nostalgia

Quote_1.png
Angela Carter
"Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place."

Life

Quote_1.png
Angela Carter
"It is, perhaps, better to be valued as an object of passion than never to be valued at all."

Passion

Quote_1.png
Angela Carter
"In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of."

Man

"What a joy it is to dance and sing!"
