Michel Foucault
“Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same.”
Michel Foucault

Maggie Nelson
“I want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have had you by my side than all the blue in the world.

But now you are talking as if love were a consolation. Simone Weil warned otherwise. 'Love is not consolation,' she wrote. 'It is light.'

All right then, let me try to rephrase. When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

bell hooks
“The practice of love offers no place of safety. We risk loss, hurt, pain. We risk being acted upon by forces outside our control.”
Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Maurice Merleau-Ponty
“To ask for an explanation is to explain the obscure by the more obscure.”
Maurice Merleau-Ponty

André Aciman
“You'll kill me if you stop.”
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name
