“When I was born, my mother dressed me as a boy because she could not afford to feed any more daughters. By the mystic laws of gender and economics, it ruins a peasant to place half a bowl of figs in front of his daughter, while his son may gorge on the whole tree, burn it for firewood and piss on the stump, and still be reckoned a blessing to his father.”
― Jeanette Winterson, The PowerBook

“The sweetest little song:

You go your way
I'll go your way too!”
― Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing

“She looked at me like I was crazy. Most of my lovers do, and that's partly why they love me, and partly why they leave”

“So - here I am in the dark alone,
There's nobody here to see;
I think to myself,
I play to myself,
And nobody knows what I say to myself;
Here I am in the dark alone,
What is it going to be?
I can think whatever I like to think,
I can play whatever I like to play,
I can laugh whatever I like to laugh,
There's nobody here but me.”
― A.A. Milne, Now We Are Six
