Alex’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow

Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow by Richard Gray

1 highlight

As my buddy Alex Doenau once put it, “You were a kid with a dream who grew into a man with a beard who’s going to talk to a man about a man with a beard. It warms my heart.” Our daily chats keep me sane and grounded.

“It would never have occurred to him that in placing the apricot in my palm he was giving me his ass to hold or that, in biting the fruit, I was also biting into that part of his body that must have been fairer than the rest because it never apricates - and near it, if I dared to bite that far, his apricock.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name
