Girls have to go somewhere dangerous every now and then just so they know they can find their way home.
Nicole BlackmanWhen I knew what I had to do / I took all my notebooks, all my manuscripts / and ate them page by page / so I could take my words with me
Nicole BlackmanThe ambitions are wake up, breathe, keep breathing.

Whether you're in bed or in court, everybody gets off.
Nicole BlackmanSomeone's writing down your mistakes, someone's documenting your downfall.
Nicole BlackmanAt any moment, you know, your manufactured cool could blow.

One day I'll give birth to a tiny baby girl
and when she's born she'll scream
and I'll tell her to never stop
I will kiss her before I lay her down at night
and will tell her a story so she knows
how it is and how it must be for her to survive
I'll tell her to set things on fire
and keep them burning
I'll teach her that fire will not consume her
that she must use it
You will start a band.
You will start a magazine.
You will start a family.
You will finish nothing.
The flowers need watering
the silver needs a shine.
Daughter is a magnet
drawn back to where she was last safe.
She touches the tablecloth like a talisman.
Tell me who I was. Tell me what I’ve become.
I know it’s tragic to be tender.
I know it’s dangerous to be kind.
I know it’s vicious to care.
Listen to me. I know what’s going to happen to you.
You don’t need a window, you need a fire escape.
You’ll need a skylight to get where you’re going.
I can’t tell you where.
