“Religion doesn't just cloud our minds. It asks us to deliberately deceive ourselves-- to replace reason with its opposite, faith. And when men operate on faith, they can no longer be reasoned with, which makes them more dangerous than any sane man, good or evil.”

“What do you want to do?”
Even in the dark, Chance looked a little wild-eyed, panting. “What do you want to do?”
“I don’t – I’ve never done this before. With a guy.” In point of fact, we were rapidly passing beyond the edge of what I’d done with anybody.
“What, um…” Chance darted in and kissed me, awkward for the first time, then pulled back. “What sounds good?”
Laughter erupted out of me. “You sound like a waiter.”

“When did you start liking me?”
“Um.” It was a reasonable question. “I’m not sure.”
“Whew.” Chance mimed fanning himself. “The romance, it’s running me up.” He shook his head. “You’re killing my ego here, Holcomb.”
“And I’m sure we’ll all miss it every much,” I shot back.”

“I think you're great. I've thought you were great since we were ten years old." Chance huffed. "You think I'm a dickwad." "That too." I kissed the side of his neck. "You contain multitudes.”

“Take it from me, dude – don’t get wrapped up in the labels yet. Sexuality is…” She looked around for a metaphor, then lifted what was left of her cinnamon roll. “Like this cinnamon roll. You see it, you think, ‘Damn, that looks good,’ so you eat it. If you like it, you do it again. Everything else – whether you’re pi or pan or sapiosexual or whatever the hell – that’s about labels, and politics, and creating shorthands for other people. That can be useful, and important for society, but you don’t have to pick a flag right out the gate. Just let yourself like who you like.”

“She was no different from the photographers, or Chance’s parents, or the random fans passing in the street. Just another person publicly laying claim to Chance, in ways I wasn’t allowed to.
He belonged to the whole world more than he belonged to me.”
