“Unser Leben hängt davon ab, was wir aus dem machen, was aus uns gemacht wurde.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

“I want to write rage but all that comes is sadness. We have been sad long enough to make this earth either weep or grow fertile. I am an anachronism, a sport, like the bee that was never meant to fly. Science said so. I am not supposed to exist. I carry death around in my body like a condemnation. But I do live. The bee flies. There must be some way to integrate death into living, neither ignoring it nor giving in to it.”
― Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals

“Ihr glaubt, ihr seid dazu verpflichtet -
ja, das wolln wir aber gar nicht - ja, das wolln wir aber gar nicht!
Auch ohne Liebe sind wir manchmal glücklich und froh -
es geht auch ohne das - es geht auch so!
Es geht auch ohne das - es geht auch so!”
― Kurt Tucholsky, Seifenblasen

“For the first time in her life she was proud of her size, proud of her strength, even proud of her oddly boyish face. She could see interest, even admiration in the faces of many of the girls.”
― Ann Bannon
