Aberrant Quotes

“What once I threw away with disdain, without a second thought, I now cherish with a heightened sensitivity. How stupid our young thoughts of immortality. How dangerous our contempt, our judgment, our arrogance regarding what all of us will ultimately become, and much sooner than we think. As if in youth, we hold some secret to life and love and eternal happiness. As if what we bring to the table will always be on our terms, our contracts neatly spelled out, a happily-ever-after always guaranteed. Now, how enticing to feel this spark of remembrance, this heat, this flame set afire in my heart, an alarm sounding through my soul.”
― Douglas Wickard, Aberrant: The Queer Diaries
