Quotes by Greg Mania (?)

“But that’s the thing: identity is never neat. It’s messy, ever-changing, grainy, unpredictable, frenetic, all over the place, and we’ll never be able to reconcile ourselves because we’re not supposed to. Every time we think we have ourselves figured out, we go and change again.”
― Greg Mania, Born to Be Public
