The Stone Door Quotes

“With shrieks of adoration it flung itself on human breasts, 'to crush you, to suck your life away. I cannot drag my own weight over the crust of the earth so you must carry me on your back so that in time you will be crippled with my weight.' These words are in every heart in the mating season.”

Hardly daring to touch what I want to say, yet knowing that if I had enough space around me it would be a piercing shriek. White, long, sharp as the crack of a whip.
This is a love letter to a nightmare.”
― Leonora Carrington, The Stone Door

“I have a small room in Lovag Ucca and earn enough to keep body and soul together.”
― Leonora Carrington, The Stone Door
