Quote by Henry Joseph-Grant

“Energy vampires are those who exert finite energy and time to be around, fit in with, impress and receive fake love or hollow validation from people who haven't got their back and will quickly forget about them when the currency which binds or bonds them ceases to be beneficial.”

“Do you consider yourself a nobody? What weight does that label even have? It’s a silly label. As silly as the label 'somebody'. Silly and non-adhesive. First off, to be thought of as a nobody someone has to be thinking of you in the first place. Second, being a so-called 'nobody' doesn’t make you irrelevant. We are all relevant to somebody else but unfortunately, we can lose sight of our most germane and important relationships when we chase the approval of people we don’t even know.”

“We Close In Fifteen Minutes by Stewart Stafford Found myself the only taker, Of a minefield guided tour, Through no man's land life, Every exit is now invisible. Stardom magnified my flaws, A broken man lost in a maze, A deadly structure's hostage, A hermit in denial's labyrinth. Glimpse dwindling fragments, In the looking glass of hubris, Flounder in glossy quicksand, The solutions devoured whole. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.”

“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.”
