"LIFE IS A STINKING DOOMED CELL."

Jeanette Winterson, The Daylight Gate (New York: Grove, 2012) ("She thinks about Hell, and is it like this? She thinks that punishments of the Fiend are made out of human imaginings. Only humans can know what it means to strip a human being of being human. She thinks the Fiend has a kind of purity that humans never have. She thinks that godliness is ridiculous because it exists to hide this; this stinking airless doomed cell. Life is a stinking airless doomed cell. Why do we pretend?" Id. at 94-95.).
