Цитаты из книги Home Body

oh but the pussy is brave lest we forget how much pain the pussy can take how much pleasure it delivers unto itself and others remember how it spit you out without a flinch now here you are using the word pussy like an insult when you’re not even strong enough to be one

i dive into the well of my body and end up in another world everything i need already exists in me there’s no need to look anywhere else

- home

don’t sleep on the doormat of your potential waiting for things to happen when you could be the thing that happens

get out of your own way get out of your own way get out of your own way

if you want to be creative you need to learn how to do stuff that has no purpose art isn’t made by working all the time first you’ve got to go out and live

- the art will come

if you tried and didn’t end up where you wanted to go that’s still progress

no one is qualified to decide your worth you wake up and live your life every day yours is the only opinion of you that matters

happiness grew old waiting for me and i grew old searching for happiness in places it did not live

we’ve ruined our only home for convenience and profit neither of which will be useful once the earth can’t breathe

the land sprawled its limbs and said put your feet up the trees said we will give you life the air said breathe me in the earth said take care of what takes care of you and we turned our backs on all of them

- betrayal

i fear that my best years are behind me and nothing beyond this point will add up

my body is so hot from wanting you i’m spilling by the time we take our clothes off i want the kind of love that transcends me into another realm i want you so deep we enter the spirit world go from being gentle to rough i want eye contact spread my legs to opposite ends of the room and look with your fingers i want my soul to be touched by the tip of yours i want to come out of this room different people

- can you do that

i’m careful about who i spend my energy on

- i know my worth

i’m not going to pretend to be less intelligent than i am so a man can feel more comfortable around me the one i deserve will see my greatness and want to lift it higher

in a world that doesn’t consider my body to be mine self-pleasure is an act of self-preservation when i’m feeling disconnected i connect with my center touch by touch i drop back into myself at the orgasm

why do i hurt the ones who want to lift me up and worship the ones who crush me

- what made me like this

if someone doesn’t have a heart you can’t go around offering them yours

don’t ask me why i didn’t leave he made my world so small i couldn’t see the exit

- i’m surprised i got out at all

i want a parade i want music i want confetti i want a marching band for the ones surviving in silence i want a standing ovation for every person who wakes up and moves toward the sun when there is a shadow pulling them back on the inside

i am not a victim of my life what i went through pulled a warrior out of me and it is my greatest honor to be her
