“I exist.’ In thousands of agonies — I exist. I’m tormented on the rack — but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar — I exist! I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“In an hour, every person in America will be able to look at a screen and see their First Son and his boyfriend.

This is it. October 2, 2020, and the whole world watched, and history remembered.”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

“So now there is not even anyone to dream about, and what an odd feeling. I don’t have the strength to put together the features of a fantasy face.

― Jenny Slate, Little Weirds
