“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”
― Henri Matisse

“Other than the voices in my head, I think I’m pretty normal.”
― Tom Upton, Tiny Voices

“Debasement? Yes, I write about debasement. I write about a lot of nasty things: obsession, violence, sex, religion, politics, death, and mental illness, but all this is just subject matter. I simply present arguments. Fact. Flawed logic. I write about humanity -- I write about monsters.

And we are all just adulterated meat.”
― Cheryl Anne Gardner

“Women have the right to be whatever kind of woman they want to be. Whatever kind of feminist they want to be, or not. I’m a woman writer. Some of my fiction is soft and poetic. Some of my fiction is horrifying and aggressive. My being a woman has no bearing on how I write. Or what I choose to write about. My being a woman is just my gender. It has very little to do with who I am as a person. So don’t box me in or tell me how to be GIRL. It’s the only thing I’ve figured out how to do, and I do it my way.”
