“…the shoreline of the UK mainland alone is more than five times as long as that of France, and once you add Ireland and all the islands of both countries, you have a lot more edge than middle. Legends flourish in these borders between land and sea. All things supernatural favour the territory linking one state with another – twilight between day and dark, doorways and gates beween in and out, bridges, dreams between sleeping and waking. The shore is another liminal area, joining earth to water, known to unknown, and this is the setting for some of the most beautiful, terrible, and memorable tales of folklore.”
— Introduction to The Fabled Coast: Legends & Traditions From Around The Shores of Britain & Ireland (Stephen Kingshill & Jennifer Westwood)
“Men have always hated us. / No. They just destroyed the warren because we were in their way. / They’ll never rest until they’ve spoiled the earth.”
Watership Down (1978, dir. Martin Rosen)
“I wanted to make a lesbian love story that did not end in a bisexual triangle or death.”
