Standing there, I promised myself that if I ever had kids, I was going to be different.
It's a promise every Indian kid makes at some point. You mean it when you say it, though.
You mean it so hard.
- quote from Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones
In movies, after you beat the bad guy, the monster, then all the injuries it inflicted, they heal right up.
That's not how it works in the real world.
- quote from Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones
You never tell your mom anything that might worry her. Moms have enough to worry about already.
- quote from Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones
I sought loneliness when I was young. […] But when I think of you, I want to be alone together.
- quote from This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
There's a kind of time travel in letters, isn't there? I imagine you laughing at my small joke; I imagine you groaning; I imagine you throwing my words away. Do I have you still? Do I address empty air […]? You could leave me for five years, you could return never - and I have to write the rest of this not knowing.
- quote from This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

“Are you afraid of that?” they asked. “Of death?” “Of course,” Mosscap said. “All conscious things are. Why else do snakes bite? Why do birds fly away? But that’s part of the lesson too, I think. It’s very odd, isn’t it? The thing every being fears most is the only thing that’s for certain?"
- quote from A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
Everybody thinks they’re the exception to the rule, and that’s exactly where the trouble starts. One person can do a lot of damage.
- quote from A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
Throw together some criteria, approve it by vote, and anything can become an official psychiatric disorder—which means that the manual has long been a mirror for biases that would horrify many people today.
- quote from Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen

"If someone doesn't want us, we need to stop wanting them."
- quote from "Punk 57" by Penelope Douglas
Speak your mind, and you give others permission to do the same.
- quote from "Punk 57" by Penelope Douglas
"We're all ugly, Ryen. The only difference is, some hide it and some wear it."
- quote from "Punk 57" by Penelope Douglas
Eventually we all have to weigh what we want more: wanting back what we had or wanting what could be. To stay or to risk everything to move forward.
- quote from "Punk 57" by Penelope Douglas
I learned a long time ago that you don't need to reveal everything inside of you to the people around you. They like to judge, and I'm happier when they don't. Some things stay hidden.
- quote from "Punk 57" by Penelope Douglas
“Sleep is for the dead. And I plan on doing lots of living.”
