“I feel like I'm making all the mistakes I would have made if I'd been dating people since I was thirteen. Even if you're really just playing at being in a relationship, you're still feeling your way through it at least. You're finding out what it means to be with someone, to care about them, what it means to have someone else in your life like that. I feel like the straight kids all get a roadmap and a head start, and the queer kids get given a faulty compass and a dead leg so they have to limp their way to 'destination relationship' while blindfolded.”
― Simon James Green, You’re the One That I Want

“I sometimes hate this city – when you see the inequality, and the poverty, and when you just want to shut yourself off from the world, that’s when I hate it. But when it’s like this, when I feel part of something bigger than me, when it’s full of fun and energy and hope and love, like it is tonight, then I bloody adore London and I’m proud to call it home.”

“But, like you said, there's also magic in the ordinary, and sometimes it's OK to be on the sidelines, doing nothing, watching life go by. That's why I'm not bothered about the part. Because if I'm with you, whatever we're doing, even if it's nothing much, I'll be happy.”
― Simon James Green

“Being human means being flawed, imperfect, messy. But you can't beat yourself up for that. And I don't think you can beat other people up for it either.”
