‘It’s funny,’ Lorna would say. ‘You feed them the same. You love them the same. But every child’s its own country.’

Walt Whitman
“I am large, I contain multitudes”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“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

Niccolò Machiavelli
“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

Jacqueline Bublitz
“Turns out the past sticks to whatever it touches. You cannot simply wash it away.”
Jacqueline Bublitz, Before You Knew My Name

Walt Whitman
“Do anything, but let it produce joy.”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
