Diane

“We’re all taught from a young age that there are only two choices: pink or blue, Bratz or Power Rangers, cheerleading or football. We see gender in two dimensions because that’s what society has taught us from birth. But, are you ready for a shocking revelation?
SOCIETY NEEDS TO CHANGE.”
― Jeff Garvin, Symptoms of Being Human

“And I realized—I realized how badly I'd been treated before, if my standards had become so low. If the freedom I'd been granted felt like a privilege and not an inherent right.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

“The Dean stared at me as if I had just sprouted purple horns with yellow polka dots.  ‘You mean you don’t even...’ His voice trailed off, and he rolled his eyes.  ‘Kinesis, Divination, Protection, Evocation and Illusion.’
‘Ah, I see.’  I nodded sagely.
‘You have no idea what any of those actually are, do you?’
‘Kinesis is moving things around, I guess.  Protection will be warding, I imagine, and learning how to kick the shit out of nasty things.’
The Dean winced.  ‘Language, please.’
‘Oh, sorry.  Learning how to utilise one’s alchemical hocus-pocus in order to suppress and extirpate the existence of any objectionable entity that threatens either to subjugate or generally cause botheration.’  I crossed my legs and leaned back again.”

“To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys."
Rhys clinked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen— and the dreams that are answered.”
