Radclyffe Hall
“There is something that mankind can never destroy in spite of an unreasoning will to destruction, and this is its own idealism, that integral part of its very being.”
Radclyffe Hall, The Well of Loneliness

“You don’t play being the king, everyone around you plays that you are king.”
Isaac Butler, The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America

Eve Babitz
“Women want to be loved like roses. They spend hours perfecting their eyebrows and toes and inventing irresistible curls that fall by accident down the back of their necks from otherwise austere hair-dos. They want their lover to remember the way they held a glass. They want to haunt.”
Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

Fannie Flagg
“If there is such a thing as complete happiness, it is knowing that you are in the right place.”
Fannie Flagg, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

Elana Dykewomon
“Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control’ — of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind.”
Elana Dykewomon, Sinister Wisdom 36: Surviving Psychiatric Assault & Creating Emotional Well-Being in Our Communities
