I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.

I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.

I've never been tempted by God but I like his trappings.

Life gives you enough hard knocks so it's unlikely you'll stay that sure of yourself.

There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms.

I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.

I miss God. I miss the company of someone utterly loyal. I still don't think of God as my betrayer. The servants of God, yes, but servants by their very nature betray. I miss God who was my friend. I don't even know if God exists, but I do know that if God is your emotional role model, very few human relationships will match up to it.
