“I don’t know of anything greater than the Appassionata. Amazing, superhuman music. It always makes me feel, perhaps naively, it makes me feel proud of the miracles that human beings can perform.

― Tom Stoppard, Travesties

“In love, I inhabit an imaginary underground; I simultaneously exist and do not exist. I’m summoned into being when my lover needs me; I’m dismissed, like a genie sent back to its bottle, when he is done with me.”
― Meena Kandasamy, When I Hit You: Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife

“It has become fashionable to separate the spiritual (psychic and emotional) from the political, to see them as contradictory or antithetical. ‘What do you mean, a poetic revolutionary, a meditating gunrunner?”
― Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power
