Marlon James
“Men and their cursed arrogance. You curse, you shit, you wail, you beat women. But all you really do is take up space. As men always do, they cannot help themselves.”
Marlon James, Black Leopard, Red Wolf

Robyn Schneider
“Because the truth is always hard. Because being queer is hard, and coming out is hard, and it never stops being hard. The world keeps shoving into you. But you stand tall anyway. You take up space anyway.”
Robyn Schneider, You Don't Live Here
