Boys, Beasts & Men Quotes

“People are afraid of beautiful things. They hate how they make them feel. The loss of control, the emotion that overwhelms.”
― Sam J. Miller, Boys, Beasts & Men

“We walk. Two bodies, two wild separate beings. Sex tingles all through me: the hunger for it, for the joy that is more than just the pleasure of it, or the pride of being desired Of connecting to someone on a profound and pre-human level. Of shredding the skin of your own unutterable separateness.

And still: the fear. A face like that - he'd spent his whole life knowing he could get whatever he wanted. Someone so beautiful - his hungers could easily become extreme. He could murder me. Drug me, chain me up in a basement, torture me for ages.

Or drunk jock bros could burst out of nowhere to bash us. Cops could bust our heads.

But this, too - this fear, this risk - is part of the joy.”
― Sam J. Miller, Boys, Beasts & Men

“How easy it was to make things move, when you weren't afraid to grab hold of them.”
― Sam J. Miller, Boys, Beasts & Men
