I love this quote by Angela Carter, which I feel epitomizes the “gorgeous words” tag.
On June 10, 2019, I reviewed Angela Carter’s seminal short fiction collection, The Bloody Tower, and mentioned then that the work:
“ … stands out … for the amazing use of language … [comprising] … the bold and the bawdy, the richly sensual and the outright sexual, and the bloody and savage.”
No surprises then, that quotes like today’s can still make me catch my breath, both as a reader and an author.
