Quotes by Jeremy Atherton Lin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I found myself taking more risks, because failure had a second life — it could spin a yarn. There was an agency in the retelling, in the self-deprecation and of course self-mythologizing. Memoir is how you groom yourself. Memoir is drag.”
― Jeremy Atherton Lin, Gay Bar: Why We Went Out

“Gay is the opium of the people.”
― Jeremy Atherton Lin, Gay Bar: Why We Went Out

“We go out to be gay. We crave this when once again growing bored with the straight world”
― Jeremy Atherton Lin, Gay Bar: Why We Went Out

“Love brings loss to mind.”
― Jeremy Atherton Lin, Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told

“I understood clearly through those days that I was living a feeling. And when I remember now, I am still living that; it has been folded into me and continues to resonate. On some level,
we knew then that we were creating this feeling to be taken along from then on.”
― Jeremy Atherton Lin, Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told
