"Self pity becomes your oxygen. But you learned to breathe it without a gasp. So, nobody even notices you're hurting."
— Paul Monette

"I am not a proponent of the We're Just Like You Except For What We Do In Bed philosophy - it is nonetheless true that in some ways our lives are not always all that dissimilar. I, too, walk my dog and worry about the consistency of his poop- even if I may share my dog with my queer femme ex-partner who maintains a separate household, which is next door to her best friend who is my former lover and owned boy and also a transsexual to boot."
— S. Bear Bergman (from First Person Queer)
