Quotes by Zefyr Lisowski (?)

“In the summer after my father died, I spent days unable to get out of bed. I had vivid nightmares of monstrous women lurching out of televisions or crammed into attics, bones cracking out of place. I had nightmares that I was monstrous too. I thought these dreams were further punishment, a reflection of who I had become. But now I wonder how much the things that scare us are always trying to form their own communities too.”
― Zefyr Lisowski, It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror

“If you care enough about a person, after all, you can ignore almost any belief they hold. If you're devoted enough, a friend and a lover are nearly the same thing.”
