“I didn't come up with the lie. It wasn't mine. They handed the lie to me, and I tried like hell to make it work for a while.”

“This is how I’ve lived my whole life—hidden and in the shadows. And the longer I stay here, the more tired I’m getting.”

“Why is the world like this? How is the world like this? How is it that humans have created a society that allows a child to come to the conclusion that they would be better off dead than alive because they like the same sex?”

“I wish there was a movie of my life. Something I could turn on when I wanted to know what was coming. Even if it meant I'd know the ending, at least I'd know what to do next. But there aren't movies for boys like me. Growing up I could never find myself in the Hollywood endings or music montages. I wasn't giving speeches at prom, or racing to the airport. I grew up watching movies for other boys, learning from the wrong playbook. Stealing notes from someone else's paper. Maybe that's my problem.”
― James Acker, The Long Run
