Quotes by Cathy Coote  (?)

“cold glassy surface of reality. I saw the gentle bookish boy you must have been, made old with tedium, wasted effort, unacknowledged kindnesses. I saw the tired, struggling righteousness of you. You were starving for want of love. You were a delicate, civilised changeling, raised among barbarians and apemen.”
Cathy Coote, Innocents

“I've realised now, too late, that sexual fantasies are fictions. Trying to make them real is like trying to converse according to an opera score.”
Cathy Coote, Innocents

“Your desire for me was like a physiological weakness, a sort of epilepsy. I needed to see you in its grip more than I needed to eat.”
Cathy Coote, Innocents
