“Maybe confusion is as queer as it gets.”
Jen Winston, Greedy: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much

“Gay and lesbian bars, safe havens for some, are rarely safe havens for bi people. But where does that leave us to go? It’s like the gay and straight communities are our parents and each thought the other would pick us up from school.”
Jen Winston, Greedy: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much

“You put off coming out because you thought no one would care, but as it turns out, plenty of people do care, just not in the way you’d hoped.”
Jen Winston, Greedy: Notes from a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much

“Still though, I think if you're not self-obsessed, you're probably boring.”
Dave Eggers

“We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.”
Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

“There ain't no devil, only God when he's drunk.”
Tom Waits

“The piano has been drinking, not me.”
Tom Waits

“Q: What’s hard for you?

A: Mostly I straddle reality and the imagination. My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane. Math is hard. Reading a map. Following orders. Carpentry. Electronics. Plumbing. Remembering things correctly. Straight lines. Sheet rock. Finding a safety pin. Patience with others. Ordering in Chinese. Stereo instructions in German.”
Tom Waits
