“Does glass break itself in abandoned places? Can material objects fall apart so quickly after dereliction? People break things like windows and bottles. People. Usually younger people, boys or teens. Bored and angry males, men.”

“Each, in their own way, loves what hurts them. At first you love what hurts you because you don't know anything else is possible, as though it were intuitive to hold a knife by the blade. You do this long enough and your wounds may not heal but they do grow familiar. You do this your whole life, and the handle becomes a weapon in it's own right, the blood-letting extension of your grasp. Now you are no longer so helpless. Now you are a calloused palm wielding a bludgeon, and that is not nothing.”

“The imperative placed on queer people to account for ourselves is a discriminatory act that demeans our human dignity. It is not a demand made of heterosexuals, they do not need to account for themselves, their desire does not need to be reduced to the language of politics or stance. As Greenwell told me; art is the realm in which contradictions can be held and not resolved, but held in a kind of beneficent statsis, that is like sexuality, desire like art, a creative act that reveals something of us anew in each act of desiring. Anything less is a compromise, a distortion of ourselves and the rights we should be afforded. I will not accept that the heteronormative may love in the language of art, but that I may only love in the language of politics.”
