Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.

What I want does exist if I dare to find it.

Writing is both bomb and bomb disposal-a necessary shattering of cliche and assumption, and a powerful defusing of the soul-destroying messages of modern life (that nothing matters, nothing changes, money is everything, etc). Writing is a state of being as well as an act of doing.

I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing; I didn't think I had to.

Strange to dream in the right shape and build in the wrong shape, but maybe that is what we do every day, never believing that a dream could tell the truth.

I do not accept that life has an ordinary shape, or that there is anything ordinary about life at all. We make it ordinary, but it is not.

I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
