Inverts Quotes

“An invert is not exactly someone thought backwards. An invert is someone thought in a different order. A part that others display on the outside, like a bronze breastplate, is instead chambered in the heart. Or inverts may have their warmest parts turned outwards, like orchids or octopuses.”
― Selby Wynn Schwartz, After Sappho

“The horror that grand people have for the snobs who strive so hard to make their acquaintance is also felt by masculine men for inverts, and by women for every man who is too much in love with them.”
― Marcel Proust, Time Regained
