shelley jackson quotes

found these on an old diskette.

"I wanted to say to him, you, you're trying so hard to bed
me. If you wait, you can become me instead."

"I am fucked by the child I used to be before I grew into
the woman I am. My past curls round and enters me at the
place of origin of us both, and starts the game over."

"sex is all doll games, the affectionate anthropomorphizing
of objects..."

"Across my hips at the widest point are pale striations
with a faint sheen to them, like a crochetted net just
under the skin, like the cream curdling in coffee, just a
little, and collecting into pale skeins. Though it
is 'cellulite,' word that sounds like the brand name for a
packing peanut, and makes me think of dank dressing rooms
and curdy flesh glimpsed under a slipped towel, it is
beautiful, like the brindle in a tabby cat's coat."


"I am making a replica of this text: a huge wooden chest in
the shape of my body, with innumerable drawers in which I
will store my findings. Some of the drawers will be large
and c a p a c i o u s, some smaller than matchboxes. Some
will be disguised, some will be booby-trapped. I will hide
secret buttons, levers and locks in my carved folds and
crevices. You will have to feel your way in."
