Courtney Love on her relationship with her mother:

“What was your relationship with your mother like?”

A lot of it was - I believe in my heart - a projection that my mother made on me because of a repulsion she felt for my father, for which I don't blame her. But it is something she denies to the death. If I had a child, and I was repulsed by the father, I would have a difficult time. Knowing the history of my father, I don't know if I would try and make up for it.

“There is some irony in the fact that given your own very public problems, your mother is a well-known therapist.”

When Newsweek found out she was my mother in the middle of the Katherine Ann Power thing, she was just mortified. Because people have met me who were her clients: "If that's your product, my friend..."

— Courtney Love, Rolling Stone interview 1994

"In Hole, we had a really safe place to create in. I felt safe in my band to come out as a gay woman. Courtney was a force that would not allow any of us to be spoken down to or any of that kind of fucking behavior, no matter where we were." - Patty Schemel

Anger and Tenderness, from Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution by Adrienne Rich

#i had an irl who called herself a lesbian instead of a woman #like gender wise #i respect that tbh

[toohardontheknees]

“She wasn't scared of vulgarity or what anyone else might say. She talked about violence, body image, lesbianism, beauty, incest, rape, maternity and even femininity unlike anybody else before her. This woman spoke to other women, without ever beating round the proverbial bush and she never lied. She'd never hesitate to openly insult her male contemporaries. And above all - she was never sorry.”

"Between the exaggerated femininity of Blondie and the gender fluidity of Patti Smith, Courtney invented her own sexy, troubled and previously unseen genre. Most of all, Courtney Love showed us that just cause we’d been born a girl, nothing was forbidden. She opened the way, with her shabby sequins, glamour, rage and an innate sex appeal.”

- French Número magazine on Courtney Love, 2017

The prime of life, the decades from forty to sixty—when many men but certainly most women are at the height of their powers—are cast as men’s peak and women’s decline (an especially sharp irony since those years represent women’s sexual peak and men’s sexual decline). This double standard is not based on health differences between middle-aged men and women, but on the artificial inequality of the beauty myth. The hypocrisy of the use of “health” as a gloss for the Surgical Age is that the myth’s true message is that a woman should live hungry, die young, and leave a pretty corpse.

i cant think of the fact that humans send messages saying ’where are you? who are you?’ from earth to the giant and empty space all around us for too long because it makes me cry so hard and feel so human and lonely
