Dorothy Allison Quotes

Love Was Something I Would Not Have To Worry About - The Whole Mystery Of Love, Heartbreak Songs, And Family Legends. Women Who Pined, Men Who Went Mad, People Who Forgot Who They Were And Shamed Themselves With Need, Wanting Only To Be Loved By The One They Loved. Love Was A Mystery. Love Was A Calamity. Love Was A Curse That Had Somehow Skipped Me, Which Was No Doubt Why I Was So Good At Multiple-choice Tests And Memorizing Poetry. Sex Was A Country I Been Dragged Into As An Unwilling Girl - Sex, And The Madness Of The Body. For All That It Could Terrify And Confuse Me, Sex Was Something I Had Assimilated. Sex Was A Game Or A Weapon Or An Addiction. Sex Was Familiar. But Love - Love Was Another Country.
