“I think I believe in the secret geometries, and the colours on the edge of light, and the marvellous in everything.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Last Hero

“What would it be like to die here?
What do you want to be when you rot?
I want flowers seeping out of my jaw, snaking around my bones.
I want something to grow out of me.”
― Sennah Yee

“I want queer authors to write anything and everything they need to write. I have no interest in gatekeeping; I want the full spectrum. I want the coming out books. I want the books about queer suffering. I want on-page catharsis and exploration of trauma. I want the happy books, too: queer joy books, cute romantic comedies, first crush books, fantasies about queer royals and revolutionaries and spaceship captains. (...) We need all types of queer stories because all types of queer people exist. I want the market to be so saturated with queer books that anyone who needs to see themselves in a story—anyone who hasn’t yet seen themselves, hasn’t yet gotten to be the hero—can walk into any bookstore and find a book (or six) about someone who experiences the world like they do. I want every queer author to get the chance to tell their story. To tell people, We exist everywhere. We suffer, we survive, we love. We can be magic, too.”
― Nina Varela

“You are made of dreams and this world is not for you.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk
