"I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking."

Previous Quote

The weight of the old world is stifling, and trying to shovel its weight off your life is tiring just to think about. The constant shuttling of opinions is tiring, and the shuffling of papers across desks, the chopping of logic and the trimming of attitudes. There must, somewhere, be a simpler, more violent world.

— Hilary Mantel
