“Queer femme4femme desire is a balance of being careful and being daring. We take our time. We laugh about how we both lean towards being bottoms and subs. We laugh at ourselves for saying we are switches. We pretend to be tops and argue about who is going to carry whose bag. Let me get that. No, let me get that.”
― Clementine Morrigan, Fucking Girls

“Few in this world are ever simply nasty; those who hurt us are themselves in pain. The appropriate response is hence never cynicism nor aggression but, at the rare moments one can manage it, always love.”
― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

“The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.”

“There are more locations than girl and boy, man and woman. Decamping from one does not have to mean climbing into another. There’s plenty of space in between, or beyond the bounds, or all along and across the plane or sphere or whatever of gender, and it is entirely okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, and so I shall be a boy.” But it must also be okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, so I shall set about changing what it means to be a girl,” and, yes, okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, and so I shan’t.”
