GT’s Quotes

“...people cannot be rescued from forms of suffering that they themselves relate to as badges of honor.”
― Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

“straight culture seems to rely on a blind acceptance that women and men do not need to hold the other gender in high esteem as much as they need to need each other and to learn how to compromise and suppress their disappointment in the service of this need.”
― Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

“You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her,
you put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting Vanity,
thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had
depicted for your own pleasure.
The real function of the mirror was otherwise. It was to make
the woman connive in treating herself as, first and foremost, a
sight.”
― John Berger, Ways of Seeing

“First, queer feminists have argued that straight life is characterized by the inescapable influence of sexism and toxic masculinity, both of which are either praised or passively tolerated in straight spaces. Second, queer observers of straight life have pointed to straight women’s endless and ineffective efforts to repair straight men and the pain of witnessing straight women’s optimism and disappointment.”
― Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

“Perhaps that's why art in all its forms can feel like the purest expression of one soul to another. A means of transcending the boundaried self. It turns out Joni's Blue is the case of wine I can drink and still remain standing. Her Blue pours out of me, not in a way she might recognise or even find at all touching, but it's there, nevertheless. The soul forever pouring from one to another, making something new through art.”
― Amy Key, Arrangements in Blue: Notes on Loving and Living Alone
