Quotes:

"In fact there was nothing she could do to alter the world in which she lived. It was as though she were still in the doll's box and she saw the world going by shining and distant, from the other side of her cellophane wrap." (Marina and the Lion p.62)

"He gently placed his stethoscope over her heart and heard a distant swish of water. Then the doll lifted up her eyelids,and out of the empty sockets of her eyes came the frenzied antennae of all those prawns." (The Youngest Doll p. 6)

"Now your lids have melted and you look at me with wide opened eyes, like those fish in subterranean lakes which need no lids because there is no sun and no one ever knows if they are asleep or awake." (Amalia p.50)

"When she finally woke up she was in a cold sweat, but she was still in the dark as to whether the story worked its evil through the ear, the tongue, or the skin." (The Poisoned Story p. 17)

"A real woman is not a sack of flour that lets a man throw her on a bed, just as a real man is not a raping macho, but one that has the courage to let himself be raped." (When Women Love Men p.140)
