You paid for every second of beauty you managed to steal.
Janet Fitch

she’s not as pretty as you,” I said “But she’s a simpler girl,” my mother whispered.
Janet Fitch
And if there is no god? You act as if there is, and it's the same thing.
Janet Fitch
In a perverse way, I was glad for the stitches, glad it would show, that there would be scars. What was the point in just being hurt on the inside? It should bloody well show.
Janet Fitch
This is what happens when you fall in love. You're looking at a natural disaster.
Janet Fitch
I decided that if I was never going to sell anything as long as I lived, I might as well do what I want to do 'cause then at least I would've done what I wanted to do in life. What's that worth?
Janet Fitch

Janet Fitch
Wasn't that the way it always was? You didn't know, you couldn't tell, you just let it happen... Perhaps they didn't know themselves. Sometimes the line was very fine.
Janet Fitch
You can't shape me anymore. I am the uncontrolled element, the random act. I am forward movement in time. You think you can see me? Then tell me, who am I? You don't know.
