“Plenty of organisms live for a season, in order for those who come next to have a chance, Mayflies, daffodils, the octopus. We can accept that?'
'Well, we're hardwired not to accept our own demise. Daffodils are a lot more chill about it.'
'Okay, but we can be like daffodils together.”
― Eliot Schrefer, The Darkness Outside Us

“Orion. You’re our middle star. You got your own gravitation. A little thing like disaster or death is never gonna knock us out of orbit.”

“There’s nothing lesser about friendship, nor is there anything wrong with who I am, I know this to the roots of my soul. It’s the only thing that keeps my head up when others in this village behave as though I do not belong, simply because I sing in a language they’ve forgotten and love in a way they refuse to understand.”
― S.J. Taylor, Being Ace: An Anthology of Queer, Trans, Femme, and Disabled Stories of Asexual Love and Connection

“It is all people seem to care about—single or taken, both words somehow a violence. But there is a space outside those words where Brindle and Fig reside, and it is part of what makes them so well suited for each other. They are not single, floating through life independently and alone. They are not taken, like a victim of some theft. Perhaps what they are is given, honestly and hopefully, to one another in equal partnership.”
― Rosiee Thor, Being Ace: An Anthology of Queer, Trans, Femme, and Disabled Stories of Asexual Love and Connection
