"I want to get across that bisexuality isn't just a transitional state from being straight to gay, or that, you know, you just hlep out when the homosexuals are all busy." - Alan Cumming

"But when it comes to women, a single selfish or not-nice act - a stolen kiss, a lie, a brushoff - is somehow enough to see them condemned as whores and bitches forever. We readily excuse our favorite male characters of murder, but if a woman politely turns down a date with someone she has no interest in, she's a timewasting user bimbo and god, what does he even see in her? ... It's not just our cultural obsession with pushing increasingly specific variants of the Madonna/Whore complex onto women, such that audiences are disinclined to extend to female characters the same moral/emotional licenses they extend to men; it's also a failure to create narratives where the women aren't just flawed, but where 'the audience is still encouraged to like them when they are.'" - Foz Meadows

"Our parents plant mental and emotional seeds in us - seeds that grow as we do. In some families, these are seeds of love, respect, and independence. But in many others, they are seeds of fear, obligation, or guilt." - Susan Forward

"We think of men as antiheroes, as capable of occupying an intense and fascinating moral grey area; of being able to fall, and rise, and fall again, but still worthy of love on some fundamental level, because if it was the world and its failing that broke them, then we surely must owe them some sympathy. But women aren't allowed to be broken by the world; or if we are, it's the breaking that makes us villains. Wronged women turn into avenging furies, inhuman and monstrous: once we cross to the dark side, we become adversaries to be defeated, not lost souls in need of mending. Which is what happens, when you let benevolent sexism invest you in the idea that women are humanity's moral guardians and men its native renegades; because if female goodness is only ever an inherent quality - something we're born both with and to be - then once lost, it must necessarily be lost forever, a severed limb we can't regrow. Whereas male goodness, by virtue of being an acquired quality - something bestowed through the kindness of women, earned through right action or learned through struggle - can just as necessarily be gained and lost multiple times without being tarnished, like a jewel we might pawn in hardship, and later reclaim." - Fox Meadows

"I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you." - Henry Rollins

"If you have someone that you think is the one, don't think okay, let's make a date, let's plan this, make a party and get married. Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world. Go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get off and if when you come back to JFK you're still in love with that person, get married at the airport!" - Bill Murray
