“All my stories are about you. They will always be about you.”
― Don't Let the Forest In

“Wenn die Entwicklung zum Autoritarismus so weit fortgeschritten ist wie in Ungarn, in der Türkei oder gar in Russland, wird kritisch- zivilgesellschaftlicher Widerstand so gut wie unmöglich. In der Türkei werden täglich Intellektuelle, AktivistInnen und JournalistInnen verhaftet, die die Regierung für gefährlich hält – sei es, weil sie wirklich Kritik an der Regierung üben, oder sei es, weil die repressiven Staatsapparate in ihrer paranoiden Wahrnehmung dies glauben. So weit sollten wir es nicht kommen lassen, schon gar nicht aus Trotz, Untergangsverliebtheit oder Besserwisserei.
Wählen wir deshalb die Parteien, die sich nicht vom Rechtspopulismus anstecken lassen und seinen Forderungen hinterherlaufen. Das ist entscheidend. Wählen wir SozialdemokratInnen, Grüne, Linke, Liberale oder Konservative. Oder spenden wir an Parteien, werben wir für sie oder lassen wir uns selbst aufstellen. Man kann die SozialdemokratInnen oder die Grünen suspekt finden, zu wenig radikal, zu wenig feministisch, antikapitalistisch oder umgekehrt zu radikal, zu rot. Aber lasst uns nicht demokratische Grundstrukturen gefährden, nur weil wir meinen, besser zu wissen, wie es sein müsste.”

“Why should Christianity compensate for its torture of the Jews during the past two-thousand years from the pocket of Islam? Why should the West pay for its crimes from the empty pockets of the Middle East nations?”

“Kiss me, then.' It burst out of him, frantic and feral. 'Kiss me.'
Thomas took Andrew's face in his hands, thumbs tracing his lips as he tilted his head down. Their lips almost touched, Andrew's swollen and crusted with blood, Thomas's warm and soft as a story.
Then he whispered, 'I am real. You are real.'
'Make me believe you,' Andrew said.
And Thomas kissed him, hard and fierce and merciless. All teeth and tongue as he took everything from Andrew and devoured him whole. Andrew's teeth sank into Thomas's lip until the old scab burst open again, and then it was impossible to do anything but breathe as one.
They were catastrophe, exploding.
Thomas pulled back and grabbed Andrew's face, rough and hard. He pressed their foreheads together. 'Do you feel this? I am here and I am here and I am here.”

“All he says, his voice soft and reverent and broken all the way through, is, "God was stronger than me when he made Adam and didn’t fall in love with him.”
