Miranda July
“I decided, right there in the darkness of the hallway, that I wanted this.”
Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

Ali Smith
“I had not known, before us, that every vein in my body was capable of carrying light, like a river seen from a train makes a channel of sky etch itself deep into a landscape. I had not really known I could be so much more than myself. I had not known another body could do this to mine.”
Ali Smith, Girl Meets Boy

Maggie Nelson
“I want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have had you by my side than all the blue in the world.

But now you are talking as if love were a consolation. Simone Weil warned otherwise. 'Love is not consolation,' she wrote. 'It is light.'

All right then, let me try to rephrase. When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

Maggie Nelson
“I feel I can give you everything without giving myself away, I whispered in your basement bed. If one does one's solitude right, this is the prize.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

Maggie Nelson
“The moment of queer pride is a refusal to be shamed by witnessing the other as being ashamed of you.”
Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts
