Quote by Jarod Kintz

“We are duck farmers. We are The Overlooked. The most glamorous type of farmer is the cattle rancher, because they were made famous by cowboys. But people forget the humble duck farmer, and last time I checked, cows don’t lay eggs needed to bake superior cakes.”

“Meet actual famous trans writer. Feel indicted when famous trans writer says that they think all trans people want to be celebrities. That the drive to celebrity is an endemic problem that fractures trans communities. That we are all so alone for so long, the only way to survive is to nurture a private sense of specialness and uniqueness—all the while fearing that this sense of specialness is our only lifejacket as we swim in a culture where tokenization tells us that we must be the only one, the fiercest, most brutal one, the special one.”

“Sapeva bene di che pasta era fatta. Era rabbia ed era orgoglio; era le strade di Southwark, la paura che aveva provato, la tristezza a cui non voleva dare un nome. Nell Ruell era fatta della fame che non sarebbe mai riuscita a saziare, nemmeno di fronte al banchetto di Sir Hughie; una fame che l'aveva spinta più lontano di quanto il dolore avrebbe mai potuto.”

“Beautiful people were led to think their beauty needed to go somewhere. On a person’s phone. In a magazine. Outwards. Why do anything with it? Maybe all the models on runways loved it, but maybe most just walked in because they fit inside the doors. Here was a pretty man who did not share himself and very much could have. It was rare to meet someone with that kind of jaw, sweet eyes, and those arms, who did not fall into modeling or influencing. There was magic in this. Lorenzo inadvertently alchemized his reserve into a valuable currency: the only time someone could see his beauty was if they were in the same room he was in or if they heard about it from someone who was there. Lorenzo had planted a kind of beauty in the world not captured by a camera, but a beauty that passed through and could only ever be run into.”

“I survived being Australian of the Year because I knew already that it wouldn't be a true reflection of my worth. I knew it would be ugly, at least in part. I came equipped with a glimpse of fame that made me realise two profound things. One is that people's ideas of it will always be warped from the outside and there's little that can be done to control that. The other being that you don't have to let it warp you if you hold on to what is most dear. (p.298)”
