Emma Forrest Quotes

This boy has negative charisma. He walks into a room and the oxygen starts to evaporate. I guess that’s why girls sleep with him. They find his awfulness transfixing. He’s like a lousy 1970’s disaster movie that they can’t bring themselves to turn off, even though it is making their life worse every minute they leave it on Picture Quote #1

When I was old enough to know better, I ate a bar of soap in the shape of the Muppets’ Fozzie Bear, because I loved him so much I wanted to consume him, even if doing so made me ill. I didn’t yet know the word ‘foreshadowing.’ Fozzie was the only first of many pop-culture icons I feel shaped by Picture Quote #1

I enjoy films where two characters are coming of age, just different ages. That’s why I love ‘Paper Moon’ so much Picture Quote #1

My radar, after all these years of sanity, is still off when it comes to what people do or don’t mean Picture Quote #1

When I was younger I loved Betty Blue, and at the moment I’m completely besotted with Angelina Jolie. But sometimes I’m unnerved by the idea of men liking her. Because I think that there is a side to every man that really wants to watch a woman fall apart Picture Quote #1

He was addicted to me and now he has gone cold turkey. He used to send me fifty texts a day. And now he is ignoring me. It’s like I was once his Barack Obama. And now I am John McCain, conceding defeat like a sad-face sock puppet, knowing I have sold the best of myself. He, my electorate, not only does not want me, he actively feels pity Picture Quote #1

There’s so much guilt there attached to having a perfectly good life Picture Quote #1

I’m not crazy or dangerous, just a bit eccentric and lonely Picture Quote #1

What people don’t understand when you’ve already been a suicide and pulled through is that after the sadness comes fear: Where is my mind going with this? I don’t want to die. I do not want to die. When you don’t have so much control over your own thoughts, over the myriad voices in your head, you don’t know where they could go Picture Quote #1

No one ever loved you like him. And no one ever took it away so completely. But it’s here. Look around Picture Quote #1

When he kisses me, I cry. I explain it’s not because I wish he were someone else, it’s because it’s such a shock to the system to be desired after feeling so completely abandoned Picture Quote #1

I still believe that you truly find yourself not in travel, but in other human souls Picture Quote #1

If killing yourself is not an option anymore, you have to sink into the darkness instead, and make something out of it Picture Quote #1

I finally accept that not only do I not understand the death of my relationship, but I do not need to. These men were good and kind to me, they loved me and I loved them back and the shock at the finish holds no wisdom. The revelation is not that I lost them, but that I had them Picture Quote #1

When I am in a relationship, I don’t wear lipstick at all. I hate the smearing, the retouching, the constant throb of phoniness as you surreptitiously check the damage in your compact between kisses. I wear lots of mascara to compensate, different colors so I don’t get bored. When I am about to break up with a guy, he has full warning because I start wearing lipstick again Picture Quote #1

If you don’t know who you are, madness gives you something to believe in Picture Quote #1

At least you know where you are with blood. At least other people can see it Picture Quote #1

But I saw the pain and sadness in everything, and swirled it round my mouth like a fine wine Picture Quote #1

He was a super shiny boy and I liked the shape of him. Under the blanket. In the shower. I liked his shadow on the street and his imprint on the sofa. I hated the smell of hair gel on his head, but I loved it on the pillow. I love the smell of losing someone Picture Quote #1

Of course he freaked me out. Of course it’s nothing to do with me. But none of that matters. He loved me and now he doesn’t. I was everything to him and now I am nothing Picture Quote #1

Now that he’s gone, I feel like I’m a senior citizen who gave away her life savings over the phone. And this is the crux: I never in my life believed in someone as much as I believed in him. The shame is overwhelming Picture Quote #1

It’s as if he can no longer acknowledge the love he felt or the pain I am in. I have been dismissed. I don’t think I was smarter or as beautiful as the other girls he did this to. It’s just that I was me. It was all I had Picture Quote #1

You can have this kind of love. You can have it. You just grab it. Of course the problem with having that love is that you can lose it, too Picture Quote #1

When you live with voices in your head, you are drawn inextricably to voices outside your head. Very often the voices work to confirm your worst suspicions. Or think of things you could never have imagined! There are only so many hours of the day to hate yourself Picture Quote #1

I want you to stay. I never want there to be a time when we don’t share space Picture Quote #1

Yes, I have patterns of love addiction. But I’m a woman. Of course I do Picture Quote #1

People don’t know. We don’t know ourselves so we tell ourselves what we really know is other people. We could say the depth of pain we feel for the lovers who’ve left us is because we knew them so well Picture Quote #1

I’m in love with someone good and kind and gentle, and he’s seen the darkness too, but somehow we’ve become each other’s light Picture Quote #1

My radar, after all these years of sanity, is still off when it comes to what people do or don’t mean Picture Quote #1

Let me tell you something: when you dance, you are the greatest dancer who has ever lived. And when you sing, you will have the courage to raise your voice to the heavens, knowing that you may never get an answer Picture Quote #1
