“I loathe society. It is a game which must be played, that is all." - Vivien Savage (The Gentleman)”
― Forrest Leo, The Gentleman

“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”
― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

“Only a man who hates his privilege can be trusted with it.”
― Rebecca Lee, Bobcat and Other Stories

“The one thing ... that is truly ugly is the climate of hate and intimidation, created by a noisy few, which makes the decent majority reluctant to air in public their views on anything controversial. ... Where all pretend to be thinking alike, it's likely that no one is thinking at all.”
― Edward Abbey, Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast
