Francesca Lia Block Love Quotations

I love Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. I also love more cerebral poets like H.D. and Emily Dickinson. My parents subscribed to a monthly poetry periodical, and as a teenager I was introduced to Denise Levertov, who was an influence.

Any love that is love is right.

If death is your lover, you don't got to be afraid ever that he will ever leave you

I pounded through the houses, staggering down the hallways, falling down the steps. It was a hot streaky dawn full of insecticides, exhaust, flowers that could make you sick or fall in love. My battered Impala was still parked there on the side of the road and I wanted to lie down on the shredded seats and sleep and sleep. But I thought of the bones; I could hear them singing. They needed me to write their song.

love is the only thing we have to save us

I want him to see the flowers in my eyes and hear the songs in my hands.

Love is a dangerous angel.
