“It should be noted that I do not define my manhood through my love of women. There are lots of men who do so: their hunger to dominate feminine things, their power over their wives and daughters, are the building blocks of their maleness. That is not me. Yes, I could love a man if I ever found one who accepts me as I am, and I’ve dreamed of being so lucky—but I love women too. I love women as men are expected to, but the way only one who has ever experienced womanhood can.”
― Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

“You asked how large my sorrow is. And I answered, like a river in spring flowing east.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“Never before had there been a prince quite like him: born with his heart on the outside of his body.”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue
