Philip Sington Quotes

I was already at an age when putting off anything was a bad idea Picture Quote #1

I wanted her body and soul, but body first Picture Quote #1

To rehearse imaginary conversations on paper is called literature. To do so out loud is called madness Picture Quote #1

One of the joys of being in love is that it clarifies your priorities. Complication arises from not knowing what you want Picture Quote #1

Desire is an appetite, quickly sated. Longing is a wound, an opening in the heart or the spirit. Whatever the cause, whatever the duration, it almost always leaves a scar Picture Quote #1

And then they would watch her closely as the dark, coagulated masses took form before her eyes, became flesh and bone, became gradually human. For all their show of reluctance, she had a sense that they enjoyed introducing her to these horrors, as seducers took pleasure in the corruption of innocence Picture Quote #1

I have found that in fiction one is freer to speak the truth, if only because in fiction the truth is not expected or required. You may easily disguise it, so that it is only recognized much later, when the story and the characters have faded into darkness Picture Quote #1
