Piercing Quotes

“Who knew there were still people like that in this world, though? Everybody wants to talk about themselves, and everybody wants to hear everybody else's story, so we take turns playing reporter and celebrity. 'It must have made you very sad when your own father raped you - can you describe some of your feelings at the time? Yes, I wept and wept, wonder why something like this had to happen to me'. It's like that. Everyone's running around comparing wounds, like bodybuilders showing off their muscles. And what's really unbelievable is that they really believe they can heal the wounds like that, just by putting them on display.”

“I changed my personality just like that. I became modest and reserved, even a little withdrawn, and after that there were lots of people who wanted to be my friend. not that we necessarily stayed friends very long, but still, I made the change because I realised something: that the sex you have with a man at your own suggestion is just never that good. After all, if you have to ask for sex, it means that the man isn't really into it, right? And guys are never sweet or gentle or thoughtful in bed if they're not really into it. There's nothing cute about their faces when they come, either, and you end up wondering what's the point of rubbing your flesh and organs together like that, having this thing flopping around inside you. It makes you feel even lonelier than if you were alone. And then, after he comes, the man makes an even worse face. What am I doing with a slut like this? That's what the expression on his face says.”

“Every time he studied this instrument, with its slender, gleaming steel rod that tapered down to such needle-like sharpness, he wondered why it was necessary to have things like this in the world. If it were truly only for chopping ice, you'd think a completely different design might do. The people who produce and sell things like this don't understand, he thought. They don't realize that some of us break out in a cold sweat at just a glimpse of that shiny, pointed tip.”

“Los recuerdos no son como las palabras; son suaves y viscosos. Están cubiertos de un limo pegajoso, igual que un pene tras el acto sexual, o la vagina durante la menstruación, y tienen la forma de renacuajos o culebrillas de agua. Cuando estos recuerdos durmientes despiertan, empiezan por retorcerse, después nadan, primero despacio, poco a poco más rápido, hasta la superficie. Y una vez que llegan ahí, tus sentidos se cierran. La primera oleada te da en los labios, después en la palma de las manos, en los dedos del pie, en las axilas. Algunos recuerdos se escapan por los poros de la piel y merodean por tu cuerpo como una niebla, esperando a que lleguen los demás y se les unan. Cuando ya están todos ahí, se juntan para formar una imagen, y es como si se encendiera una pantalla de televisor ante tus ojos.”

“¿Quién no imagina cosas que le causan ansiedad? Tal vez sin llegar a estos extremos, como tener que dar un discurso en una boda, por ejemplo, a mucha gente le da pánico cagarla o que les ridiculicen o se rían de ellos. O accidentalmente puedes tomar contacto visual con un psicópata en el tren y pensar ¿Y si se baja detrás de mí y me sigue a casa? Gracias a la imaginación, hay un sinfín de cosas en el mundo que pueden desencadenar ansiedad. Normalmente, claro, te puedes liberar de esos miedos enfrentándote a ellos o contándoselos a alguien. Normalmente.”
