“How does one get across the fact that the best way to find out how people feel about their gender or their sexuality—or anything else, really—is to listen to what they tell you, and to try to treat them accordingly, without shellacking over their version of reality with yours?”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“People are oceans. You cannot know them by their surface.”
― Beau Taplin, Worlds of You: Poetry & Prose

“You have no idea how promising the world begins to looks once you have decided to have it all for yourself. And how much healthier your decisions are once they become entirely selfish. It is the simplest thing in the world to decide what you want to do - or, rather, what you don't want to do - and just to act on that.”
― Anita Brookner, Hotel du Lac

“Die vraag is te goed om met een antwoord te verknoeien.”
― Harry Mulisch, The Discovery of Heaven
