“If a cuddle promises home, then a cuddle is a dense relationship field where histories get connected and intertwine. It is a corporeal paradigm for relations, where these histories, like people, touch; where a body re-composes its needs artfully onto and energetically into another body; where the skin we live within offers protection to a self, an other, and becomes a dependable home; where at times it is easy for limbs and other parts to reach across diving lines, become entangled with other limbs and other parts.”
― Phanuel Antwi, On Cuddling: Loved to Death in the Racial Embrace (Vagabonds)

“I took a certain pleasure in informing the gender clinic that even though their program told me I could not live as a Gay man, it looks like I'm going to die like one.”

“My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think… and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
