Book cover for Seasons of Love
Joy’s finger touches me, and her tongue keeps swirling stubbornly, and then I surrender. I surrender to Joy and give her everything I have and, with it, shed the image of the old Alice, and become me, at last.

Armistead Maupin
“If you want to know who the oppressed minorities in America are, simply look at who gets their own shelf in the bookstore. A black shelf, a women's shelf, and a gay shelf.”
Armistead Maupin

Anaïs Nin
“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.”
Anais Nin

Raymond Carver
“Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read.”
Raymond Carver

“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”

Audre Lorde
“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.”
Audre Lorde
