Exiled Quotes

“I was taught craving another man was a sin, but I see now how wrong they were. It’s not the fact it’s a man I desire so desperately, it’s the intensity with which I claw and grab and reach for him that has them clutching their bibles. I’d kick down the door to Hell itself to be with this man… And that terrifies them. It terrifies them that love could be so raw, so primal, so powerful—stronger than any prayer.”

I don’t know why I didn’t notice that my first time sober, but maybe it’s because I was still too wrapped up in my own struggles to see just how much of a chokehold the industry has on society as a whole. They don’t make it fucking easy to take drinking as seriously as it should be taken.”
