We need more Labradors. The world is full of blind people. They don’t see Picasso and me dignified in our love. They see perverts, inverts, tribades, homosexuals. They see circus freaks and Satan worshipers, girl-catchers and porno turn-ons. Picasso says they don't know how to look at pictures either.
-- Jeanette Winterson "Poetics of Sex"
"Without knowing how, or when, or from where....simply, without problems or pride." -- Neruda

"I say, it's loneliness suspended
To our own like grappling hooks,
And as long as she's got noise
She's Fine
But I could teach her how I learned to dance
When the music's ended..."
Dar Williams ~ As Cool As I Am
Eve’s mouth hurts from trying not to laugh
At some joke some scholar made
about her being someone’s half.
It was a joke, a lie, exaggeration, a fib.
And now you all believe I came from his rib.
She screams at the top of her lungs:
"I’m whole! I’m body,
I’m heart, I’m mind, I’m soul."
Alix Olson's "Eve's Mouth"

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
