All the things that girls feel they are not when they fear that if they become, if they are, they will no longer be loved by the sisters whose hearts they have not meant to break. And besides, if the sisters are gone and only the beloved remains with his dense curls and his lips, how safe are you then? You have to have him or you will die if the sisters are gone with their listening ears and their feet to rub and their bodies to dress and their shared loneliness. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
She pushed the gardener away and called for them. In her sleep she had seen love. It was poisoning. It was possessing. Devouring. Or it was seven pairs of boots climbing up the stairs to find her. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
No matter how bad things get, you can always see the beauty in them. The worse things get, the more you have to make yourself see the magic in order to survive. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Why else were we here except to love? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
What did it mean for us? Because everything I did, everything that happened to me, that was what I asked myself - what does this mean for us. It meant that I was farther away from you, different. It meant that if we let ourselves, we could get closer than we had ever been. Disappear into each other. You'd bleed and I wouldn't. Then we both would. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
We no longer believe in fairy tales. But we will learn to believe in monsters ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Writing is very cathartic for me. As a teacher, I hear many students say that writing can be painful and exhausting. It can be, but ultimately I believe that if you push through, the process is healing and exhilarating. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
If Los Angeles is a woman reclining billboard model and the San Fernando Valley is her teenybopper sister, then New York is their cousin. Her hair is dyed autumn red or aubergine or Egyptian henna, depending on her mood. Her skin is pale as frost and she wears beautiful Jil Sander suits and Prada pumps on which she walks faster than a speeding taxi (when it is caught in rush hour, that is). Her lips are some unlikely shade of copper or violet, courtesy of her local MAC drag queen makeup consultant. She is always carrying bags of clothes, bouquets of roses, take-out Chinese containers, or bagels. Museum tags fill her pockets and purses, along with perfume samples and invitations to art gallery openings. When she is walking to work, to ward off bums or psychos, her face resembles the Statue of Liberty, but at home in her candlelit, dove-colored apartment, the stony look fades away and she smiles like the sterling roses she has brought for herself to make up for the fact that she is single and her feet are sore. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Why was fabulousness important? The world was a scary, sad place and adornment was one of the only ways she knew to make herself and the people around her forget their troubles. That was why she had opened her store almost five years ago. Everyone who entered the little square white house with miniature Corinthian columns, cherub statues, and French windows seemed to leave carrying armloads of newly handmade and well spruced-up recycled vintage clothing, humming sixties girl-group songs, seventies glam and punk, eighties New Wave one-hit wonders, or nineties grunge, doing silly dances, and not caring what anyone thought.
Weetzie loved the old dresses she found and sold, because they had their own secret histories. She always wondered where, when, and how they had been worn. What they had seen. Old dresses were like old ladies. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Weetzie and My Secret Agent Lover Man and Dirk and Duck and Cherokee and Witch Baby and Slinkster Dog and Go-Go Girl and the puppies Pee Wee, Wee Wee, Teenie Wee, Tiki Tee, and Tee Pee were driving down Hollywood Boulevard on their way to the Tick Tock Tea Room for turkey platters. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Grief is not something you know if you grow up wearing feathers with a Charlie Chaplin boyfriend, a love-child papoose, a witch baby, a Dirk and a Duck, a Slinkster Dog, and a movie to dance in. You can feel sad and worse when your dad moves to another city, when an old lady dies, or when your boyfriend goes away. But grief is different. Weetzie's heart cringed in her like a dying animal. It was as if someone had stuck a needle full of poison into her heart. She moved like a sleepwalker. She was the girl in the fairy tale sleeping in a prison of thorns and roses. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I pounded through the houses, staggering down the hallways, falling down the steps. It was a hot streaky dawn full of insecticides, exhaust, flowers that could make you sick or fall in love. My battered Impala was still parked there on the side of the road and I wanted to lie down on the shredded seats and sleep and sleep.
But I thought of the bones; I could hear them singing. They needed me to write their song. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Everything was chocolate ice cream and kisses and wind. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
We are all insane. But how do you distinguish sanity from insanity, how do you diagnose abnormality in this new world? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Barbie was no longer afraid of anything. It was like the thing Mab had said about belief. The belief is sometimes the biggest part of it all. You can choose to believe in your published book being held in the loving hands of strangers, your name tattooed forever on the heart of the one you adore; you can choose to believe in tiny red-haired pesky piskies--all the things 'they' may tell you not to believe in. But who are they anyway? What do they know? What makes them any more real? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
She wears a Val Surf T-shirt and boys' boxer shorts and she has a boy's phone number scrawled on her hand. Part of her wants to spit on it and rub it off, and part of her wishes it was written in huge numbers across her belly, his name in gang letters, like a tattoo. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Stories are like genies ... They can carry us into and though our sorrows. Sometimes they burn, sometimes they dance, sometimes they weep, sometimes they sing. Like genies, everyone has one. Like genies, sometimes we forget that we do.
Our stories can set us free ... When we set them free. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
The books downstairs were reciting their poetry to each other, rubbing together, whispering through the leathery covers. Wine was flowing through the water pipes. You had caught my leaping heart in your hands like a fish. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Weetzie wished she could shake blue glitter around all of them - keeping them sparkling and safe. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
My mother said, "kiss him, darling, it's easy so natural" and I thought to myself, not with lips of stone, dear mother, not with lips of stone ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I dont know about happily ever after ... but I know about happily, Weetzie Bat thought.. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
The true warrior isn't immune to fear. She fights in spite of it. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I was starting to learn how to forget the things that made me sad. It was like a charm you followed step-by-step, collecting and blending the ingredients, placing everything in its proper place. It was the magic of forgetting. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Each of us has a family tree full of stories inside of us, Dirk thought. Each of us has a story blossoming out of us. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
What shall we do? All of us passionate girls who fear crushing the boys we love with our mouths like caverns of teeth, our mushrooming brains, and watermelon hearts? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Maybe her own tears were the poison that made her grow. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I love Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. I also love more cerebral poets like H.D. and Emily Dickinson. My parents subscribed to a monthly poetry periodical, and as a teenager I was introduced to Denise Levertov, who was an influence. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
You asked me who I thought I was before. I said maybe I was a fish because I love water and you said, you thought a mermaid, maybe.
If you were a mermaid, you said, if you were a mermaid, I was the sea. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Pain can give you sight or make you blind. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
This was not a fearie tale. This was not the movies. This was life. It hurt more. It was excruciating. It was excruciatingly beautiful. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Under the twinkling trees was a table covered with Guatemalan fabric, roses in juice jars, wax rose candles from Tijuana and plates of food - Weetzie's Vegetable Love-Rice, My Secret Agent Lover Man's guacamole, Dirk's homemade pizza, Duck's fig and berry salad and Surfer Surprise Protein Punch, Brandy-Lynn's pink macaroni, Coyote's cornmeal cakes, Ping's mushu plum crepes and Valentine's Jamaican plantain pie. Witch Baby's stomach growled but she didn't leave her hiding place. Instead, she listened to the reggae, surf, soul and salsa, tugged at the snarl balls in her hair and snapped pictures of all the couples. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
They were laughing and their hair was shining like leaves in moonlight, their limbs long as saplings. I thought, Girls are magical at this phase, girls are invincible, nothing can touch them. I didn't think 'us' because I didn't feel that; I felt other, on the outside, watching them. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I want him to see the flowers in my eyes and hear the songs in my hands. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
My love wants to change the world
she thinks she has so much to give
not realizing how much she takes from others
my love is loyal until she senses rejection of any kind
then she flies like a bird but has less memory
of where she came from
i would like to protect you from my love ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
If you were sad about something that hadn't happened yet you couldn't be disappointed. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Everything was fine, but Weetzie wanted a baby. "How could you want one?" My Secret Agent Lover Man said. "There are way too many babies. And diseases. And nuclear accidents. And crazy psychos. We cant have a baby," he said. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Sometimes you fall, spinning through space, grasping for the things that keep you on this earth. Sometimes you catch them. They can be the hands of the people you love. They can be your pets- pups with funny names, cats with ferocious old souls. The thing that keeps you here can be your art. It can be things you have collected and invested with a certain sense of meaning. A flowered, buckled treasure chest of secrets. Shoes that make you taller and, therefore, closer to the heavens. A suit that belonged to your fairy godmother. A dress that makes you feel a little like the Goddess herself.
Sometimes you keep falling; you don't catch anything.
Sometimes you fall, spinning through space, grasping for the things that keep you here. Sometimes you catch them. Sometimes you don't.
Sometimes they catch you. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
It's not that I literally think I'm a fearie. It's just that I feel so different from most people. And this idea of a race living underground in caverns, spending all their days dancing and playing the fiddle and eating flowers and reciting poetry and sharing their dreams, that to me sounds much more real than the way people live in this world, hating and fighting and wanting and hurting. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I wish I wasn't a girl who needed so much but a little free creature that slept in deserts and ran on clouds and lived on lilies. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Nothing happened. And everything did. Your whole life you can be told something is wrong and so you believe it. Why should you question it? But then slowly seeds are planted inside of you, one by one, by a touch or a look or a day skateboarding in a park, and they start to burst out of old hulls shells and they start to sprout. And pretty soon there are so many of them. They are named Love and Trust and Kindness and Joy and Desire and Wonder and Spirit and Soulmate. They grow into a garden so dense and thick that it starts to invade your brain where the old things you were once told are dying. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
You are in my blood. I cant help it. We can't be anywhere except together ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Non sum qualis eram. I am not what I once was. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
The night was a rush of steaming pasta, wet irises, Italian leathers, swaddled beggars, skulking boys, sulking girls, garbage piles, pretzel vendors. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
So Witch Baby played. Tossing her head, sucking in her cheeks and popping up with the impact of each beat. Thrusting her whole body into the music and thrusting the music into the air around her. She imagined that her drums were planets and the music was all the voices of growth and light and life joined together and traveling the universe. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
If Death is your father, you don't ever have to worry about what part of his body the disease will strike next. If Death is your lover, you don't have to be afraid that he will ever leave you. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Maybe he was real. Maybe I'd made him up. Either way, he didn't think I needed him anymore. Maybe he was right. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Beauty loved him more than anything, her Beast boy, but, secretly, sometimes, she wished he would have remained a Beast. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Maybe one night I'll be asleep and I'll feel a hand like a dove on my cheekbone and feel her breath cool like peppermints and when I open my eyes my mom will be there like an angle, saying in the softest voice, When you are born it is like a long, long dream. Don't try to wake up. Just go along until it is over. Don't be afraid. You may not know it all the time but I am with you. I am with you. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Flowers are reincarnation. They come out of the earth of our ashes. Nothing else looks so soul-like. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
It was always a relief when she came home to him. Like water or food. Like music or that moment when you cut yourself with a knife and squeeze the skin and no blood oozes out. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Here you go on this long long dream. Don't even try to wake up. Just let it go on until it is over. You will learn many things. Just relax and observe because there is pain and that's it mostly and you aren't going to be able to escape no matter what. Eventually it will all be over anyway. Good luck. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
What sexual preference do you hope she has?" "Happiness." Isnt that cool? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Some people think you begin to grow up when you stop trying to figure out who you are. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Besides, secretly, without knowing it herself, she had been waiting for a Beast to go to. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
A kiss about apple pie a la mode with the vanilla creaminess melting in the pie heat. A kiss about chocolate, when you haven't eaten chocolate in a year. A kiss about palm trees speeding by, trailing pink clouds when you drive down the Strip sizzling with champagne. A kiss about spotlights fanning the sky and the swollen sea spilling like tears all over your legs. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
You try to decide if you should take this as a message of endings. Or beginnings. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Max asked, 'Why death, do you think?'
'The Iroquois say that the world was too full, so the men and women got together, separately, to find an answer. The men came up with the idea of not having any more children. But the women refused to give up having babies. Death was their answer.'
Max nodded. He took a deep breath. It felt like he hadn't breathed like that in month, maybe years. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I want to be untouchable and beautiful and completely dead inside. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
It was like when we were little kids and we played games on the ivy-covered hillside in the backyard. We were warriors and wizards and angels and high elves and that was our reality. If someone said, Isn't it cute, look at them playing, we would have smiled back, humoring them, but it wasn't playing. It was transformation. It was our own world. Our own rules. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Morning. Strawberry sky dusted with white winter powder sugar sun. And nobody to munch on it with ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Take my eye," I say. "I have another. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
We try on different dresses, different selves, but our souls are always the same - ongoing, full of light. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
This way she could feel the rush of warm air, blowing back her hair as if she were a plant. She could go out into the night and become a part of it and forget who she was. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
He said that black sheeps express everyone else's anger and pain. It's not that they have all the anger and pain-they're just the only ones who let it out. Then the other people don't have to. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
air. I am still holding the scissors, pointing ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
When you live in a city with no stars to wish on, you have to wish on each other. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
What are you going to do if you find art, Pen? You going to steal some and put it in the van?"
"I'm going to remember. When there was art. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
It's scary to become a woman in this world. We have to understand that some of the messages we get, messages that we are not enough, are there to keep our power in check. We can't buy into these messages. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
He smells like night-blooming flowers
Crushed, juicy petals on the pillows
His voice is full of ocean
Humming like the surf
He kneels before me like I am his goddess
He is a god ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I still can't talk about it," he said
"Duck." Dirk touched his cheek
"I remember, later, my mom trying to run into the water and I'm trying to hold her back and her hair and my tears are so bright that I'm blind. I knew she would have walked right into the ocean after him and kept going. In a way I wanted to go too. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Under the ground seep the toxins of the population that lives above. If you have to, you will eat roots and earthworms. It is always night. Candles burn in lanterns made from tin cans. When it is nighttime up above, you can crawl out, but only for a little while. You feel ashamed of your matted hair, your torn clothes, the dirt on your face. Who would want to speak to you? They are all shiny and pretty. They have parents and house with gardens. What do you have? The earth. Whole handfuls of it. The lizard people with their slit eyes and scaly skin. Your loneliness. Your longing. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Everything is an illusion; that is the whole thing about it - illusion, immitation, a mirage. It makes me too sad. Its having like a good dream, you know you are going to wake up. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
West didn't want her to get hurt anymore. He wanted her to let go. He wanted her to appreciate her life. To know he loved her. All these things sounded so stupid to him when he imagined saying them and he knew she didn't want to hear them anyway. She wanted to hear one thing. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
And then I cried a flood of tears as if I really were a mermaid who had absorbed too much sea into herself. The tears spilled like a balm, like a potion, like a charm. In them swam a little girl whose father was dying without ever having seen her. In them swam a girl whose mother's magic – the only thing the girl envied more than anything else in the world, the thing that had made her invisible, the most precious thing –might be dying too. In them swam a green-haired girl who had never been touched by the boy to whom she was so devoted that she would have lived with him forever in a shack by the sea or a ruined sand castle even if he never made love to her. My tears were for me, but they were also for him. They were to wash away the thing that had frightened him so much so long ago. The wound inside his thigh. My tears poured out of me and he drank them down his throat. He drank them in gulps deep into himself, swallowing sorrow.
Someday," he said, "when we are ready, I will give you back your tears. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
You were just a boy on a bed in a room, like a kaleidoscope is a tube full of bits of broken glass. But the way I saw you was pieces refracting the light, shifting into an infinite universe of flowers and rainbows and insects and planets, magical dividing cells, pictures no one else knew ... ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
The lesson of this life is not for me to touch you again. It is to accept who I am now and not feel shame. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
It seems impossible that you can love one person so much, no matter what happens, no matter what they do. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Tinys do not deserve safety. If they are to prove themselves, they must suffer and die or suffer and survive. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Find the goddess inside yourself instead of looking for the god in someone else. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
She wished she had a little yellow house of her own, with a flower box full of real flowers and herbs – pansies and rosemary – and a sweet lover who would swing dance with her in the evenings and cook pasta and read poetry aloud. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I close my eyes. I am the visionary, the one-eyed seer, the storyteller. I am Pen. I can fight with the power of images and words. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
That was when I cut my arms with a razor blade as a means of creative expression. I only did it lightly, just grazing the skin, to see the way the blood would bleed out, to make myself look tougher. Not like some of those kids who keep going deeper and deeper, wondering what they look like down to the bone, because it's a world that's so close and yet so far and so dangerous and so much their own. The only world that is their own. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
You can't doubt so much, Psyche ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
One of the best things about sex with a Banshee, however, is that she will make her needs known freely. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Being a good mother is being a hero. Right? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I climb through the rubble toward the door. It takes a long time, time enough for a Giant to see me from the blood-red stained-glass eye window and reach out to crush me in his hand the size of a tractor. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Relieved because what I dreaded most in the whole world was going to happen and I wouldn't have to live with it anymore - the fear.
There is the relief of finally not being alone and the relief of being alone when no one can take anything away from you. Here she was, my beautiful fear. Shiny as crystal lace frost. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Sometimes I wanted to peel away all of my skin and find a different me underneath. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Pianos, unlike people, sing when you give them your every growl. They know how to dive into the pit of your stomach and harmonize with your roars when you've split yourself open. And when they see you, guts shining, brain pulsing, heart right there exposed in a rhythm that beats need need, need need, need need, pianos do not run. And so she plays. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Weetzie could see him
it was a man, a little man in a turban, with a jewel in his nose, harem pants, and curly-toed slippers.
"Lanky Lizards!" Weetzie exclaimed.
"Greetings," said the man in an odd voice, a rich, dark purr.
"Oh, shit!" Weetzie said.
"I beg your pardon? Is that your wish? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Writing is literally transformative. When we read, we are changed. When we write, we are changed. It's neurological. To me, this is a kind of magic. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Maybe any love we ever have is an angel in whatever form ... ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
At least the girls in stories were alive before they died. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Baby, I love you. Pen ... More then I love the color black. More than I love cigarettes, more than I love books. Even music."
"More than food. More than art or stories. More than words ... ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I saw my own blood and I thought, how could I live in a world where this exists- where love can become death? ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Let's not be afraid of anything that can't really hurt us. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I wanted him to hold me, to take care of me. To make the pain dissolve away. I know that this was part of what had ruined everything but I wanted it once more anyway. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Welcome Beauty, banish fear. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Francesca Lia Block quotes by Francesca Lia Block
Love can transform us. It can be a healing force or a disaster, a tidal wave, a tornado. It can burn and scar us or heal our scars. It can be the ghost that haunts us, or the best friend who reads our every thought. Love may arrive like an angel of mercy, a fairy with raven wings or a hairy beast that will tear us apart limb from limb, kill and savor us down to the bones. ~ Francesca Lia Block
