“For years I was an undiagnosed anorexic, suffering from a little-known variant of the disease, where, freakishly, the appetite turns in on itself and demands more and more food, forcing the sufferer to gain several stones in weight and wear men's V-necked pullovers. My condition has stabilised now, but I can never stray too far from cocoa-based products and I keep a small cracknel-type candy in my brassiere at all times. Fortunately, I wear a 'D' cup so there is plenty of room for sweetmeats.” MenYearsLittlesI CanSufferingTurnsRoomsKnownConditionsProductsTypeDemandDiseaseGainsStonesWeightAll TimeCupsPlentyAppetiteCandySufferersAnorexicsCocoa Author:Victoria Wood
“It is often asserted that as woman has always been man's slave--subject--inferior--dependent, under all forms of government and religion, slavery must be her normal condition. This might have some weight had not the vast majority of men also been enslaved for centuries to kings and popes, and orders of nobility, who, in the progress of civilization, have reached complete equality.” MenGovernmentMightFormOrderWomenProgressConditionsSubjectsCenturyKingsCivilizationNormalWeightSlaveryMajoritySlaveDependentInferiorsPopeNobilityForms Of Government Author:Susan B.

“In a way women are fleshier because of estrogen. It's hard for us to lose weight because when we get super skinny we don't ovulate. Women in camps during the Holocaust didn't menstruate and didn't ovulate. They were starving; they were terrified. Why emulate that condition? It's nonsensical to me.” WayHardLosesConditionsWeightCampsHolocaustTerrifiedSkinnyStarvingEmulateLose WeightNonsensicalEstrogen Author:Erica Jong
“The truth may often be carried about by those who themselves remain all unaware of it. They bear that which has weight and substance and yet for them has no name whereby it may be evoked or called forth. They go about ignorant of the true nature of their condition, such are the wiles of truth and such its stratagems.” MayTruthNamesConditionsBearsWeightIgnorantSubstanceTrue NatureOften IsStratagem Book:The Border Trilogy: Picador Classic Source: The Border Trilogy: Picador Classic
