More quotes by Emma Forrest
I do think everything that happens in American pop culture sort of prescribes for England and does end up happening there six months later, maybe a year.
Emma Forrest
Time heals all wounds. And if it doesn't, you name them something other than wounds and agree to let them stay.
Emma Forrest
He was a super shiny boy and I liked the shape of him. Under the blanket. In the shower. I liked his shadow on the street and his imprint on the sofa. I hated the smell of hair gel on his head, but I loved it on the pillow. I love the smell of losing someone.
Emma Forrest
Well. There is a psychiatric occurrence we see in men-not often women-where they put all their hopes and dreams onto one person, so intensely that at some point it trips a wire in the brain circuitry, and that causes them to go, in a minute, 180 degrees the other way.
Emma Forrest
My radar, after all these years of sanity, is still off when it comes to what people do or don't mean.
Emma Forrest
I would say at the moment the only person who could have played me this past year would have to be Angelina Jolie.
Emma Forrest
Jeff Bridges says that the reason he's one of the few stars in Hollywood whose made his marriage last for decades is that every time they think there's no more doors left to walk through in the room, they just keep looking and keep looking until they find one.
Emma Forrest
At least you know where you are with blood. At least other people can see it.
Emma Forrest
This boy has negative charisma. He walks into a room and the oxygen starts to evaporate. I guess that's why girls sleep with him. They find his awfulness transfixing. He's like a lousy 1970's disaster movie that they can't bring themselves to turn off, even though it is making their life worse every minute they leave it on.
Emma Forrest
There's so much guilt there attached to having a perfectly good life.
Emma Forrest
You want to know, but are afraid to ask, whether or not I found someone. If there could be anyone to fill that hole in my heart after I lost him. I did. Life is futile, says my new therapist, Michaela, and no one gets out of it alive. There is only love.
Emma Forrest
Cyndi Lauper was hilarious and generous, someone I'd loved from childhood who didn't disappoint.
Emma Forrest
Now that he's gone, I feel like I'm a senior citizen who gave away her life savings over the phone. And this is the crux: I never in my life believed in someone as much as I believed in him. The shame is overwhelming.
Emma Forrest
Yes, I have patterns of love addiction. But I'm a woman. Of course I do.
Emma Forrest
The truth is I have had, for whatever reason, several movie-star boyfriends.
Emma Forrest
I think that's the function of a lot of psychiatrists and therapists, is keeping people afloat just long enough for them to get older.
Emma Forrest
What people don't understand when you've already been a suicide and pulled through is that after the sadness comes fear: Where is my mind going with this? I don't want to die. I do not want to die. When you don't have so much control over your own thoughts, over the myriad voices in your head, you don't know where they could go.
Emma Forrest
Write a page every single day, even if what you put on the page that day is no good - it's the only way to get better.
Emma Forrest
He was only twenty-five.He was young enough to miss his youth just as it was slipping away. The worst kind of loss-the one that is happening as you feel it.
Emma Forrest
I finally accept that not only do I not understand the death of my relationship, but I do not need to. These men were good and kind to me, they loved me and I loved them back and the shock at the finish holds no wisdom. The revelation is not that I lost them, but that I had them.
