“You can't quell depression by making love. But we tried. But we tried, oh, we did.”
Yrsa Daley-Ward, bone

Franz Kafka
“You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love.”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“Remember on the right night and
under the right light
any idea can seem like a good one
and love
love is mostly ill advised but always
brave.”
Yrsa Daley-Ward, bone

Franz Kafka
“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense",”
Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory
