Ponyboy Quotes

“They allow the light of me to come forth, giving grace to even the shame of me.”
― Eliot Duncan, Ponyboy

“I read myself as femmeboy, gender fuck, man in a dress. I know I'll be read as an unhinged cis girl in a slip dress and decide it doesn't matter if no one gets my subversive exuberance because I don't miss it. I don't quell it anymore”
― Eliot Duncan, Ponyboy

“I pulsed in a brief electric calm, an almost safety, where my me-ness was a shrug or a long drag of a cigarette, a hot conversation out front, a laugh, a nod. Where I could exist at full volume, where the fact of me wasn't a disruption but an unquestioned, integrated fact of my being.”
― Eliot Duncan, Ponyboy
