Best 5 quotes of Lisa Marie Basile on MyQuotes

I am afraid of photographs. I am ashamed they will show where I really come from. From particles of light, a slow holding of breath as if I were filling with dirt & I am, because where I come from is a place outside and it is not normal...

… I am born and born again. I am born to represent the white plain of redemption to fuck carefully siphoning the blood out of you. I am reconstructing my body to take in what you took out, and it fits.

… I am me, but am not me: I have spent my entire life & all of its suffering both as spectator & subject. a woman trapped eternally as a child waiting for the holy father. I look pretty but feel so young, standing on the curb sucking on the lemon of the sun.

I don't respect these monsters but I weep anyway. I curl my fingers in so that my palms bleed, because I have been afraid of this whole entire life, of being a pretty little thing. being a pretty thing is a problem. no one wants you, not even the dead.

nostalgia will kill the good girl. the truth is you should not waste your time on being good.
