Emilie Autumn QUOTES

1 " I am my heart’s undertaker. Daily I go and retrieve its tattered remains, place them delicately into its little coffin, and bury it in the depths of my memory, only to have to do it all again tomorrow. "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

2 " I cut myself because you wouldn't let me cry.
I cried because you wouldn't let me speak.
I spoke because you wouldn't let me shine.
I shone because I thought you loved me... "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

3 " My reasons to live
Were my reasons to die
But at least they were mine
Now I've freedom unbound
Cut the laces of life "

― Emilie Autumn

4 " You're so easy to read but the book is boring me. "

― Emilie Autumn

5 " You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me "

― Emilie Autumn

6 " Women who focus on style over substance usually find themselves in a big fucking hole, with other men who want to fuck the hole. Oh so smooth, and none sophistacted. Because, you know, how sophisticated can hole-fucking really be "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

8 " It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first. In fact, this act has been encouraged for centuries, and is accepted even now as an honorable reason to do the deed. How is it any different when you are under attack by your own mind? "

11 " Perfume was first created to mask the stench of foul and offensive odors...
Spices and bold flavorings were created to mask the taste of putrid and rotting meat...
What then was music created for?
Was it to drown out the voices of others, or the voices within ourselves?
I think I know. "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

12 " Studies show:
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything gonna be all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in the third person
So she can forget that she's me "

― Emilie Autumn

13 " Why can I never go back to bed? Who's is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense in these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half past dead? "

― Emilie Autumn

14 " He cried when I left, which I find to be standard male behavior. "

― Emilie Autumn

15 " DeathWish: You spent some time working with Courtney Love and Billy Corgan on a creative level, how did this experience help your growth as an artist?

EA: It didn't -- it stunted it entirely. I gave up over a year of my life and career helping Billy with his flop of an album and designing and building all of the costumes for his music video. With Courtney, we were friends, but I spent years working to record and promote her flop of an album only to find that my value increased every time I peed in an orange juice bottle so that she could fake her way through a drug test. Not exactly a haven for artistic growth. "

― Emilie Autumn

16 " Revenge itself may indeed be the best revenge, but slaying one's enemy does not give back what they stole. "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

17 " I feel as though, if I were to extend my hand just a little toward the pool where the ideas ferment, I could grab at the idea and pull it out of the pool and onto the floor where ideas must stand before the jury of the brain. There, it must present itself, still from the pool, and a bit shivery because new ideas are not given a towel to dry off with, towels being reserved for proven theories; new ideas are simply pulled and stood up, and asked to explain themselves - not a very pleasant thing really, which is why so many people go into the room where the pool is. The exercise is exhausting not to mention a bit difficult to watch, if you are at all a sympathetic creature. What was my idea, anyways? "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

18 " Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide more than people's reaction to my trying to commit suicide. "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

19 " What's the big fucking deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright. "

― Emilie Autumn , The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

20 " We will paste upon the curled pages words
Like charming and romantic and sentimental
Forgetting that charming is witchcraft
Romantic is love
And sentiment is what makes us human "
