“She crossed her arms and pouted. “Nothing’s stopping us. You told me that we should always try to achieve our dreams.” “I didn’t have murder in mind when I told you that,” Hugo said dryly. “That’s because you think too small. Go big or go home.”
― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door

“You're not sure if you ever experienced sexual attraction. You've felt pressured to have sex because it's what you're "supposed to do." You don't understand why people complain about not having sex”

“How do you take the fight out of half the population and render them willing slaves? You tell them they're meant to do nothing but serve from the minute they're born. You tell them they're weak. You tell them they're prey. You tell them over and over, until it's the only truth they're capable of living.”

“As ace folks, we go through much of our lives searching for the language to describe what we feel. We don't see our experiences reflected in the world. We don't see them depicted in the media we encounter and consume. And we don't recognize them in the people we surround ourselves with. We feel like these little islands of experience, isolated, alone in what we feel.”

“And in a world where visible representations of asexual people are really hard to come by, the power you have as an out individual is enormous. You might be the only asexual person someone else has ever met or seen. You might be the first person to clearly explain the ace experience to someone. Your visibility might change the way someone else sees their own identity. That's big.”
