Quotes by Francesca Kritikos  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In an old black car, a girl who feels sick to her stomach wants to throw up every man she’s ever known until a sea surrounds her. That girl wants to walk on top of that sea. Girls want these things.”
― Francesca Kritikos, IT FELT LIKE WORSHIP

“True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys.”
― Yukio Mishima

“A true poet does not say 'azure'; a true poet says 'blue.”
― Else Lasker-Schüler

“We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.”
― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

“I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends.”
― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
― Joan Didion, The White Album
