    Heather Killough-Walden
    “They say you can't stop time, that it is a constant and waits for no one. The're wrong. Time slows when you want it to speed up. It goes too Fast when you're having fun. And it stops. It stops dead in its tracks, when the unthinkable occurs. Time is not neutral, it makes no sence, and it bears no logic. It has nothing to do with nature or fairness or physics. Time is cruel. And its as simple as that.”

    “If a human female was going to defeat a male alpha werewolf, there was only so many thing she could do to accomplish that feat. All of them were batshit.”

    C.C. Hunter
    “Sometimes this just happens,” Kylie said, much calmer now that she had a sneak preview of his
    comeuppance.
    “Just happens?” Burnett bellowed out. “Are you freaking kidding me! If you have sex, you use
    protection. It’s that simple. This shit doesn’t have to happen! This is nothing but carelessness. It’s
    irresponsible. It’s unforgivable.”
    “Burnett!” Holiday rolled her eyes at Kylie and frowned. The fae knew exactly what Kylie was up
    to now.
    But Kylie wasn’t finished yet. “Maybe we should put a rule in place. Any male who impregnates a
    girl should be neutered.”
    “Enough,” Holiday snapped.
    “Actually, that’s not a bad plan!” he growled.
    “Burnett!” Holiday said in a stern voice. “Shut up before you embarrass yourself more than you
    already have.” When the vampire looked at Holiday, she continued, “Kylie didn’t buy the pregnancy
    tests for Miranda. She bought them for me.”
    Kylie flopped back against the seat again, enjoying the look of disbelief on the vampire’s face a
    little too much. “Would you like a name of a good doctor who will schedule your little snip-snip
    operation?” she bit out.”
    C.C. Hunter, Chosen at Nightfall

    “I know you love her, and, hell, I love her too. And Matt would throw you off a bridge if he thought he could have her.” …
    “Ew,” Matt complains. “I don’t like her like that.” He points a finger in my face. “But I will throw you off a bridge if you hurt her.”

    Nikita Gill
    “Tell your daughters how you love your body.
    Tell them how they must love theirs.

    Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—
    from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,
    whether there is a little of them or a lot,
    whether freckles cover their face or not,
    whether their curves are plentiful or slim,
    whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short.

    Tell them how they inherited
    their ancestors, souls in their smiles,
    that their eyes carry countries
    that breathed life into history,
    that the swing of their hips
    does not determine their destiny.

    Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued.
    Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful
    because every woman’s soul is unique.”
    Nikita Gill, The Girl and the Goddess: Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom

    “[Looking like a straight girl] means wearing clothes that seek and destroy comfort. These are garments designed by gay men to attract heterosexual men. The straight girl is simply the hanger for an inside joke.”
    Mary Dugger

    Ban Ki-moon
    “To those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender -- let me say -- you are not alone. Your struggle, for the end to violence and discrimination, is a shared struggle. Today, I stand with you. And I call upon all countries and people, to stand with you too.

    A historic shift is underway. We must tackle the violence, decriminalize consensual same sex relationships and end discrimination. We must educate the public. I call on this council and people of conscience to make this happen.

    The time has come.”
    Ban Ki-Moon

    Lawrence Schimel
    “My first female lover was a Jewish woman. She was butch, but not in a swaggering macho way- she could pass as a yeshiva boy, pale and intense. Small, almost fragile, she exuded a powerful sense of herself. She had not been to a synagogue in years, but kept the law of kashrut, and taught me my first prayers in Hebrew. She cooked, she read, she ironed her dress shirts and polished her boots meticulously, and admired femme women enormously. She was also the first person ever- including myself- to bring me to multiple orgasms. She taught me to ask for what I wanted in bed, then encouraged me to expect it from her and future lovers. She taught me to get her off with fingers, tongue, lips, sex toys, and my voice. She showed me how to masturbate in different positions, and fisted me during my menstrual cramps to provide an internal massage- and to demonstrate that a sexual act without orgasm was also an acceptable, intimate act. She never separated sexuality from the rest of her life; it was as integral to her as her Judaism.

    This was how I wanted to be. Not just sexually, although certainly that way too. This is how I wanted to move through the world.

    -- Karen Taylor (from "Daughters of Zelophehad")

    Joey Comeau
    “I live to feel her fingers move inside of me like this. The bus
    makes another stop. A fat man climbs aboard, hauling himself up the stairs. I would kill him for one more moment with her fingers inside me. I don’t have to. She gives me my moment for free. He lives because of her generosity. We all live because of her generosity.”
    Joey Comeau, The Girl Who Couldn't Come

    “Will put his hand on Nico's shoulder. "Nico, we need to have another talk about your people skills."
    "Hey, I'm just stating the obvious. If this is Apollo, and he dies, we're all in trouble."
    Will turned to me. "I apologize for my boyfriend."
    Nico rolled his eyes. "Could you not―"
    "Would you prefer special guy?" Will asked. "Or significant other?"
    "Significant annoyance, in your case," Nico grumbled”
    Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

    Dustin Lance Black
    “If Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he would want me to say to all the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by the churches, by the government, by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value, and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights, federally, across this great nation of ours.”

    Catt Ford
    “Take this fucking thing off me!" he demanded.

    "Good morning to you too, Nick," Damian said mildly. He unlocked the door without haste and went to his office, Nick dogging his every footstep.

    "Did you --?"

    "I didn't touch it or myself. Take it off right now!" Nick said angrily.

    Damian sat down and motioned Nick closer. "We're going to have to have a talk about topping from the bottom. I don't allow that, pet.”

    “They say a happy childhood is a lousy preparation for life. Kids who spend their playground days fat, ginger or gay know the truth. The world has always been full of vicious predators. For plenty of people this carnage and savagery is business as usual.”
    Adam Baker, Outpost

    Cassandra Clare
    “Isabelle snorted. 'All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you, Simon.'
    'You noticed' said Simon.

    'I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual,' added Magnus.

    'Please never say those words in front of my parents,' said Alec. 'Especially my father.'

    'I thought your parents were okay with you, you know, coming out,' Simon said, leaning around Isabelle to look at Alec, who was — as he often was — scowling, and pushing his floppy dark hair out of his eyes. Aside from the occasional exchange, Simon had never talked to Alec much. He wasn’t an easy person to get to know. But, Simon admitted to himself, his own recent estrangement from his mother made him more curious about Alec’s answer than he would have been otherwise.

    'My mother seems to have accepted it,' Alec said. 'But my father — no, not really. Once he asked me what I thought had turned me gay.'

    Simon felt Isabelle tense next to him. 'Turned you gay?' She sounded incredulous. 'Alec, you didn’t tell me that.'

    'I hope you told him you were bitten by a gay spider,' said Simon.

    Magnus snorted; Isabelle looked confused. 'I’ve read Magnus’s stash of comics,' said Alec, 'so I actually know what you’re talking about' A small smile played around his mouth. 'So would that give me the proportional gayness of a spider?'

    'Only if it was a really gay spider,' said Magnus, and he yelled as Alec punched him in the arm. 'Ow, okay, never mind.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

    “Alec looked at her and shook his head. "How do you manage never to get mud on your clothes?"
    Isabelle shrugged philosophically. "I'm pure at heart. It repels the dirt.”

    “Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
    Donna Tartt, The Secret History

  • #25
    Donna Tartt
    “It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.”
    Donna Tartt, The Secret History

    “Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not.”

    “I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.”

    “Are you happy here?" I said at last.
    He considered this for a moment. "Not particularly," he said. "But you're not very happy where you are, either.”
