Quotes by Bennett Sims  (?)

“Being in love, they had agreed in bed one night, meant being in a state of interpretive hysteria. Every detail was significant, polysemous, charged. That was why lovers had to be especially careful with one another, so as not to arouse suspicions. No literary critic in the world, B had claimed, was more vigilant than a suspicious lover.”
Bennett Sims, White Dialogues

“FIGHT THE BITE refers to this phenomenon as 'spite bites': namely, when people who are nonfatally contaminated (e.g., by a scratch, or a bite on the ankle: any matter of infection that─instead of killing them instantly─leaves them with a week of fever and dread before they become undead) decide to spend their last days alive contaminating as many other victims as they can.”
Bennett Sims, A Questionable Shape
