" In their world good manners and good sense prevail.
They don’t imagine that to choose sensibly is to set a time-bomb under yourself.

They don’t imagine you are ripe for the cutting, waiting for your chance at life.

They don’t think of the wreckage an exploding life will cause… Settle down, feet under the table. She’s a nice girl, he’s a nice boy.

It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. "

― Jeanette Winterson , Written on the Body
