Mary Woronov Quotes
She Was Crouched In The Corner Of The Room, Eating Something Off The Floor. It Was The Old Woman Dressed In Endless Black. When She Looked Up This Time There Was No Question She Was There For Me. She Had The Face Of My Mother But Much Older, Her Ancient Decayed Mouth Coming Closer For Her Good-night Kiss. I Steeled Myself Against Her Putrid Smell, The Mouthful Of Bitter Dust, But As Her Lips Touched Mine It Was Like Biting Into A Purple Black Plum Whose Fruit Was Brilliant Red, Like An Explosion Of Intense Joy. Its Childhood Smell Wrinkled My Nose With Pleasure, Its Sweet Juices Ran Down My Chin, Turning Into A Beautiful Black Ocean Where I Floated Safely, Not Lost As I Had Imagined, But Securely Tucked Away Deep In Space.
