Oooh look. New icons!

I thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes with y'all. (I feel very white trash after saying that. I shan't repeat that mistake.)

Anyway... So it begins!

"I loved him the way it feels when you get hot wax on the inside of your wrist, and while it's burning, just as sudden, it's a cool thick skin. Like it tastes to eat sweet snow, above the daffodil bulbs-not that I've ever found it, but clean snow that melts to nothing in the heat of your tongue so that you aren't even sure if it was ever there. I loved him like spaniel joy at a scent in the grass-riveted, lost. I loved him so much that it felt as if it had to be taken away from me at any moment, changed-how could something like that be allowed to exist on this earth?"
(Francesca Lia Block- ICE)

"And you? You were the thing that gave me shape. “But I wasn’t even listening,” you say. "I don’t even remember you.” Don’t feel bad. The important thing was not that you listened, but that I talked. I can see that now. I was born into craziness. When the world turned crazy, I was ready for it. That’s how I survived. And when the craziness was over, where did that leave me? On the street corner, that’s where, running my mouth, spilling myself. And I needed you there. You were the bottle I poured myself into."
(Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli)

I'd prefer 'fuck and smash the state', because when you put the two together, you get crazy violent sex.
(Adam Carson of AFI)

"You want nothing when you are trying to forget something that is everything."
(Francesca Lia Block- Witch Baby)

"I know what I'm waiting for. I know that you are meant to be mine. Why are we given free will if we're not meant to use it? I'll do whatever it takes."
(I think this is Francesca Lia Block, but I'm not sure.)

"Even in darkness, your lips taste of sunshine."
(Francesca Lia Block- Psyche In A Dress)

"You are alive. As long as you're alive, you'll know where his heart is. It is in YOU."
(Francesca Lia Block- Witch Baby)

"I had lost you forever, and now I am holding you like a breath..."
(Francesca Lia Block- Ecstasia)

"He holds me as if I had a heart, but the heart ticking away in my chest is just a clock."
(Francesca Lia Block- Ecstasia)

(heart, could we bear the marvel of this thing?)
-E.E. Cummings (I feel this way every time I get flustered over someone.)

The world is mud luscious and puddle-wonderful.
-E.E. Cummings

"What time are we upon and where do I belong?"
(Francesca Lia Block- Witch Baby)

"You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins..."
-Brand New

"My heart is like a teacup covered with hairline cracks. I feel like I have to walk real carefully so it won't get shaken and just all break and shatter."
(Francesca Lia Block- Witch Baby)

That's all for now.
