Quote by Diana Wynne Jones

“In fact, I had time to be maddened by Christopher generally. He would keep calling me "Grant" in that superior way, and there were times when I wanted to hit him for it, or shout that it was only my alias, or - anyway he really annoyed me. Then he would say something that doubled me up with laughter and I discovered I liked him again. It was truly confusing.”

“Hasta el día de hoy me pregunto: ¿por qué las personas homosexuales tienen que contar o comunicar que se sienten atraídos por alguien de su mismo sexo? ¿Acaso los heterosexuales también lo hacen? ¿También reúnen a sus padres y les dicen "soy hetero"? Es totalmente ridículo anunciar aquello como si fuera una mala noticia, como si en lugar de decir "soy gay", estuvieras diciendo "tengo cáncer". Por Dios, es ridículo.”
