Jonathan Buckley
“If someone is thinking of you, it hasn't ended. Nobody knows how it ends.”
Jonathan Buckley, Telescope

Ocean Vuong
“I miss you more than I remember you.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Anne  Michaels
“What we give cannot be taken from us.”
Anne Michaels, Held

James Baldwin
“If a society permits one portion of its citizenry to be menaced or destroyed, then, very soon, no one in that society is safe. The forces thus released in the people can never be held in check, but run their devouring course, destroying the very foundations which it was imagined they would save.”
James Baldwin, Nothing Personal

“That's where he learned. Learned all the things he needed to hide. If he got the wrong ear pierced, if he touched a boy's hair, if he had fingernails, if he looked at his fingernails the wrong way, if he didn't smoke, or didn't smoke a certain way, if he threw funny, ran funny, caught funny, if he drew, if he sang, if he said a word differently, dressed differently, wore a watch on the wrong wrist. If he cried.”
Anthony Shapland, A Room Above a Shop
