8 Quotes by Elisabeth Hewer

i dream nights and girls like tigers,claws and teeth on both.

I’ve just got this restless ache at the centre of me. I’m worried it’s infected. I’m worried it’s spreading to my heart.

I want to be eaten alive. I wantto feel wanted.

If I tell my bones they’re a cagemaybe they’ll keep thissnarling heart contained.

There’s so much world and sea and salt andwhat I want to know is how much does it frighten you?How much does it make you shake?

I could do it. I could rip your life out like a fury, like a beast.I could stand over you with my red handsand lap the heart out of your hollow chest.I'm a wolf, I'm a woman, I'm a building hurricane.I'm whole-way sharp teeth, soul-sick wet claws.I say "love me," and you say, "you're killing me."I say, "i'd die for you," and you say," You'd kill for me—that's not the same thing.

You can’t build a lifeon another human being. We’re foundationsof sand. We’re Atlas buckling under the sky.

(see the gods are long dead,but the girls are still standing)
