Quotes by Susan Neville  (?)

“To the one who does the butchering, eating will always be a sacrament. The flesh in the dome of your mouth, your flesh, this fallen world.”
Susan Neville, The Town of Whispering Dolls: Stories

“And it occurred to me that it had been, all along, about copies, nothing else. All of it, this entire flaming universe was about copying itself before it died, that’s all it was. And we were there in the middle of it, as blind to the machinery inside of us as we were deaf to the machinery of galaxies swirling in circles above us.”
Susan Neville, The Town of Whispering Dolls: Stories

“For the Gnostics and for the fiction writer evil is the source of all moral understanding; the function of evil, in the best of conditions, is tension and imbalance, the eventual creation, through suffering and misfortune, of wisdom.”
Susan Neville
