Die wunderbare Gesellschaft in der Neujahrsnacht Quotes

“Romantic love has been diluted into paperback form and has sold thousands and millions of copies. Somewhere it is still in the original, written on tablets of stone. I would cross seas and suffer sunstroke and give away all I have, but not for a man, because they want to be the destroyer and never the destroyed. That is why they are unfit for romantic love. There are exceptions and I hope they are happy. The unknownness of my needs frightens me. I do not know how huge they are, or how high they are, I only know that they are not being met.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Die wunderbare Gesellschaft in der Neujahrsnacht (DTV Bibliothek Kubin)
