Quotes by Kate Bernheimer  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“Fairy tales represent hundreds of years of stories based on thousands of years of stories told by hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions of tellers.”
Kate Bernheimer

“Beer bottles, whiskey bottles, brown glass, green. They fell to the lawn and I'd feel serene. Adam was king to my stilted queen.”
Kate Bernheimer, The Complete Tales of Ketzia Gold

“Doll-less, invisible friend-less, finally more comfortable in fear than in gladness, Astrid began to live in her head. Or rather inside a small tunnel - a hole - in her head, through which she watched everything gaily depart. She nodded this head and pretended to listen. 'Bye-bye,' she would hear from within.”
Kate Bernheimer, Horse, Flower, Bird
