Susan Sontag
“My loyalty to the past—my most dangerous trait, the one that has cost me most.”
Susan Sontag

Ocean Vuong
“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Renée Vivien
“I have loved to the limit of my strength. No one has a right to ask more of any human being.”
Renée Vivien, A Woman Appeared to Me

James Baldwin
“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.”
James Baldwin

M.L. Rio
“For someone who loved words as much as I did, it was amazing how often they failed me.”
M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains
