Nina Varela
“I want queer authors to write anything and everything they need to write. I have no interest in gatekeeping; I want the full spectrum. I want the coming out books. I want the books about queer suffering. I want on-page catharsis and exploration of trauma. I want the happy books, too: queer joy books, cute romantic comedies, first crush books, fantasies about queer royals and revolutionaries and spaceship captains. (...) We need all types of queer stories because all types of queer people exist. I want the market to be so saturated with queer books that anyone who needs to see themselves in a story—anyone who hasn’t yet seen themselves, hasn’t yet gotten to be the hero—can walk into any bookstore and find a book (or six) about someone who experiences the world like they do. I want every queer author to get the chance to tell their story. To tell people, We exist everywhere. We suffer, we survive, we love. We can be magic, too.”
Nina Varela

Carolin Emcke
“Hass und Gewalt nicht allein zu verurteilen, sondern in ihrer Funktionsweise zu betrachten, heißt immer auch zu zeigen, wo etwas anderes möglich gewesen wäre, wo jemand sich hätte anders entscheiden können, wo jemand hätte einschreiten, wo jemand hätte aussteigen können. Den Hass und die Gewalt nicht einfach nur abzulehnen, sondern zu beobachten, mit welchen rhetorischen Strategien, mit welchen Metaphern oder Bildern der Hass generiert und kanalisiert wird, birgt immer auch die Überzeugung, jene Stellen in den Mustern der Erzählung zu markieren, an denen sie unterbrochen oder unterwandert werden können.”
Carolin Emcke, Gegen den Hass

“Turtles are amazing.”
Terry Pratchett, The Last Hero

Maggie Stiefvater
You are made of dreams and this world is not for you.
Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk

Terry Pratchett
“I think I believe in the secret geometries, and the colours on the edge of light, and the marvellous in everything.”
Terry Pratchett, The Last Hero
