Quote by Hélène Cixous

“Everything she wanted to tell her, was unable to tell her, because she was afraid of hearing her own voice come out of her heart and be covered with blood, and then she poured all the blood into these syllables, and she offered it to her to drink like this : “You have it.”

“Sometimes, even when you lie to protect someone, it tears you apart. It breaks your heart because you carry the weight of every word you didn’t say and every truth you had to hide. You watch them safe, smiling, thinking everything is fine… while your own heart quietly breaks under the burden of your lies and the things you’re hiding. You know you did it for them, yet somehow, it still feels like you who has hurt them.”

“In some literature, I’ve read, weather is used as a metaphor. The darker and stormier the weather outside the more diabolical the deeds done. When the clouds roll away, however, the rain has washed away all the blood in the streets and the world is clean and new again, as if all the violence and destruction of the storm served a divine purpose.”
