Skin Quotes

Like our parents always told us not to like firefighters warn against we’re playing games and making the rules up as we go we’re matching warmth to warmth starting fires burning wishes into our skin we’re hidden holding forbidden lights we’re children whose fathers have never taught never touch but we’re finding these new flames we smother at the sound of footsteps Picture Quote #1

Knowledge can be like the skin on the surface of the water in a pond, or it can go all the way down to the mud. It can be the tiny tip of the iceberg or the whole hundred percent Picture Quote #1

This was what she needed… the quiet turning to the other in the middle of the night, the wordless meeting of lips, skin, breath. The trust, unfurling one pale petal at a time, that he would be there Picture Quote #1

One day you fall for this boy. And he touches you with his fingers. And he burns holes in your skin with his mouth. And it hurts when you look at him. And it hurts when you don’t. And it feels like someone’s cut you open with a jagged piece of glass Picture Quote #1

Technically, on the spectrum of very bad things, they did nothing truly wicked. But of course, that spectrum has no measure for the greatest of all carnal sins, the kind that occurs before skin touches skin, before wondering turns to yearning, yearning to having, having to holding for dear life, when two people cling to each other so desperately that even when they lie, inches apart, neither is fully satisfied until the light between them turns to darkness Picture Quote #1

I have developed a rash on my body where the rough cloth rubs on my skin. I wanted to take a bath, thinking that the dirt on my skin made the rash worse, but the bathing tub has been turned upside down and is being used as an extra table in the kitchen and I cannot have it until spring, so I just spread goose grease on my rash. The dogs are following me everywhere Picture Quote #1

I peeled the skin off a grape in slippery little triangles, and I understood then that I would be undressing every item of food I could because my clothes would be staying on Picture Quote #1

Each day had a tranquility a timelessness about it so that you wished it would never end. But then the dark skin of the night would peel off and there would be a fresh day waiting for us glossy and colorful as a child’s transfer and with the same tinge of unreality Picture Quote #1

And yet there was something about his strength, his arrogance, his sheer size that got under my skin. He probably couldn’t even spell vanilla. He was probably selfish in the sack. Probably selfish and greedy and... unsophisticated. And hung like a horse Picture Quote #1

Witches never existed, except in people’s minds. All there was in the olden days was women and some men who believed in herbal cures and in folklore and in the wish to fly. Witches? We’re all witches in one way or another. Witches was the invention of mankind, son. We’re all witches beneath the skin Picture Quote #1

Whatever you proclaim as your identity here in the material realm is also your drag. You are not your religion. You are not your skin color. You are not your gender, your politics, your career, or your marital status. You are none of the superficial things that this world deems important. The real you is the energy force that created the entire universe! Picture Quote #1

Azazello begged her not to worry, assuring her that he had seen not only naked women but also women with their skin flayed clean off Picture Quote #1

I loved him so much. It didn’t change all the reasons we couldn’t be together, but it kept me returning to his body, kept my skin seeking his skin over and over again in the sad dance we did Picture Quote #1

My life is too tight, he wanted to say. My skin is too tight. The walls are too tight Picture Quote #1

Unhappiness is a dangerous thing, like carbon monoxide. You don’t smell it, you don’t taste it, it’s formless and colourless, but it poisons slowly. It seeps into every pore of your skin until one day your heart just stops beating Picture Quote #1

And her skin shone luminous and impossibly pale, as if it drank light from the moon Picture Quote #1

Tell me that you don’t take that blade and drag it across your skin and pray for the courage to press down Picture Quote #1

What I’m trying to describe is that it’s impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else’s... That somebody else’s tragedy is not the same as your own Picture Quote #1

Mattia was right: the days had slipped over her skin like a solvent, one after the other, each removing a very thin layer of pigment from her tattoo, and from both of their memories. The outlines, like the circumstances, were still there, black and well delineated, but the colors had merged together until they faded into a dull, uniform tonality, a neutral absence of meaning Picture Quote #1

I remember that feeling of skin. It’s strange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingers still tingle with it Picture Quote #1

Doctors don’t seem to realize that most of us are perfectly content not having to visualize ourselves as animated bags of skin filled with obscene glop Picture Quote #1

Things have been a mess for so many years that trying to pin down a starting point is like trying to figure out where your skin starts Picture Quote #1

I would gladly have climbed out of my skin and into his that night, because I believed that was what love meant Picture Quote #1

So your father told you once that you were his princess you won’t see the castle you cannot find your prince and now you’ve grown a lot and your dress don’t fit right your daddy’s not a hero he stole your chariot so here you are in pieces trying to prove to us it’s real the softness of your smile and the lies you want to feel the scales beneath your skin are showing off today there’s evil in your heart and it wants out to play there’s evil in your heart and it wants out to play there’s evil in your heart and I have made a home here for me you’ll burn it down with your fantasy Picture Quote #1

I kissed him, trying to bring him back. I kissed him and let my lips rest against his so that our breath mingled and the tears from my eyes became salt on his skin, and I told myself that, somewhere, tiny particles of him would become tiny particles of me, ingested, swallowed, alive, perpetual. I wanted to press every bit of me against him. I wanted to will something into him. I wanted to give him every bit of life I felt and force him to live Picture Quote #1

I found myself grinning until my cheeks hurt, my scalp prickling till I thought it might lift off my head. My tongue ran away from me, giddy with freedom. This, and this, and this, I said to him. I did not have to fear that I spoke too much. I did not have to worry that I was too slender, or too slow. This and this and this! I taught him how to skip stones, and he taught me how to carve wood. I could feel every nerve in my body, every brush of air against my skin Picture Quote #1

He smelt of the sun, as if it had seeped deep into his skin, and I found myself inhaling silently, as if he were something delicious Picture Quote #1

Then I placed the blade next to the skin on my palm. A tingle arched across my scalp. The floor tipped up at me and my body spilled away. Then I was on the ceiling looking down, waiting to see what would happen next Picture Quote #1

For so long, it was just my secret. It burned inside me, and I felt like I was carrying something important, something that made me who I was and made me different from everybody else. I took it with me everywhere, and there was never a moment when I wasn’t aware of it. It was like I was totally awake, like I could feel every nerve ending in my body. Sometimes my skin would almost hurt from the force of it, that’s how strong it was. Like my whole body was buzzing or something. I felt almost, I don’t know, noble, like a medieval knight or something, carrying this secret love around with me Picture Quote #1

Age is a peculiar kind of thief. It slips up on you and steps inside your skin and is so quiet and methodical in its work that you never realize it has stolen your youth until you look into the mirror one morning and see a man you don’t recognize Picture Quote #1
