“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Henry de Vere Stacpoole
“Memory cannot produce a picture that Imagination has not retouched; and her pictures, even the ones least touched by Imagination, are no mere photographs, but the world of an artist.”
Henry de Vere Stacpoole, The Blue Lagoon

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“She made herself stronger by fighting with the wind.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Bill Willingham
“Writers never really like each other anyway. Our insecurities get in the way.”
Bill Willingham, Happily Ever After
