History dies without the present. There is no future without the path made to it by the past.

You become a reader by reading the literature, not by reading the handbooks about it.

And the price for being a homo-hater should be as high as anyone can pay.

There are times when you don't know yourself. There are times when you don't want to know yourself. There are times when you want to be what you have never allowed yourself to be before.

And when someone else speaks your name you feel pleased. You feel wanted. You feel there. Alive. Even if they're saying your name with dislike, at least you know you're you, that you exist.

Is it better to go with the flow or let the flow go?

Readers are made by readers - it is so obvious it is almost banal to say it.
