Qiu Miaojin
“All that is neither masculine nor feminine becomes sexless and is cast into the freezing-cold waters outside the line of demarcation, into an even wider demarcated zone. Man's greatest suffering is born of mistreatment by his fellow man.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

Colette
“...the feminine appetite for possession tends to emasculate every living contest, and can reduce a magnificient but inferior male to the status of a courtesan.”
Colette, The Last of Cheri

“My mother always told me that to be a girl one must be especially clever.”
Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

“Secretly though, I did sort of enjoy being a fucked-up mess. Apart from that, I didn't have a whole lot going on.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

Qiu Miaojin
“Only healthy people are capable of being in love. Using love to treat an illness just makes the illness worse.' I realize that's exactly what I did: I used love to fight illness, and it ruined me. I have to change my ways. I can't be like that anymore.”
Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile
