“People are people,"..."You can fall in love with either sex- it's the *person* who makes the difference. His or her spectacular insides.”
Laurie Fox, My Sister from the Black Lagoon: A Novel of My Life

“What I could tell the boy was, the moment we are born appears to be the very same moment we forget we are loved. Now isn't this awkward? Shouldn't the two things dovetail, love and memory? Shouldn't a feeling that powerful be carved on a tree so no one can ignore its message? To come so far to be in this world only to forget something all-important - what kind of a journey is that? I'll bet that 90 percent of the love that surrounds us is dismissed or discounted - the cup of tea a friend makes, the letter from a faraway auntie. The fact that no one feels loved enough merely proves my point.”
Laurie Fox, The Lost Girls
