“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

I mean, it beats working.” FeelsShouldKindMeanPersonsStoriesTurnsAsksTalkingCarStudentsTypeBeatsStrangerJournalismWorriedJournalistRetiringTapeLoanEditsCapers Author:David

“When I was an adolescent, I was obsessed with having many commercial things, cars, clothes, stupid things. Now that I have all that, I understand that the superfluous things can turn to you into a very stupid idiot-type. In East Germany there were very few things, but there was also a feeling of solidarity that no longer exists. Now we are up to the neck in consumption, the ego, the individualism. Now before friendship, it is merchandise.” FeelingsTurnsCarStupidTypeEgoClothesEastIdiotObsessedGermanyNecksIndividualismConsumptionSolidaritySuperfluousStupid ThingsMerchandiseVery StupidEast Germany Author:Till Lindemann
“The fumes of the most disordered imaginations were recorded in their religious code, as special communications of the Deity; and as it could not but happen that, in the course of ages, events would now and then turn up to which some of these vague rhapsodies might be accommodated by the aid of allegories, figures, types, and other tricks upon words, they have not only preserved their credit with the Jews of all subsequent times, but are the foundation of much of the religions of those who have schismatised from them.” MightHappensAgeTurnsCoursesImaginationReligiousAtheismSpecialEventsFiguresCommunicationTypeFoundationJewCreditPositive AtheismAidsTricksCodeNow And ThenVagueDeitiesAllegory Book:Letters Source: Letters
