Snuff Quotes

“Nell'istituto religioso che ha frequentato da ragazza, dice la signora Wright, tutte le allieve dovevano coprirsi le orecchie con una sciarpa. Questo perché nella Bibbia si dice che la Vergine Maria rimase incinta quando lo Spirito Santo le sussurrò all'orecchio. Orecchie come vagine. La convinzione che sia sufficiente sentire un'idea sbagliata per perdere l'innocenza. n dettaglio di troppo e sei rovinata. Overdose di informazioni. E' la verità. Un'idea sbagliata può mettere radici in te e crescere.”

“Whence came it, that ethereal music, from what hidden grot or secret cell? From what dark cave? From what window into paradise? We watched the tiny figure under the spotlight and the music poured over us, sometimes soothing, sometimes blessing, sometimes accusing. Every one of us confronting ghosts, demons and old memories. The recital by Tears of the Mushroom, a young lady of the goblin persuasion, took but half an hour or, perhaps, it took a lifetime, and then it was over, to a silence which spread and grew and expanded until at last it exploded. Every single patron standing and clapping their hands raw, tears running down our faces. We had been taken somewhere and brought back and we were different people, longing for another journey into paradise, no matter what hell we had to atone for on the way.”
