Quote by Kate McGahan

“When you don’t question something and you know in your heart that it’s true, it’s like love. If you have to ask yourself if you love someone, you probably don’t. You can make it very complicated because even though you know in your heart that it’s true, you don’t always consult with your heart because your head wants you to think that it’s always right, but your head can confuse you. The heart is the one that’s always right.”

“They set about making people so unhappy and isolated and when they crawl into a hole and pull it in after them, they have the nerve to call homosexuality a 'suicidal lifestyle'. And yet they do this - and deny that any gay or trans person could ever be a 'true' Christian. As if THEY are.”

“Those close to [Patricia Highsmith], particularly her family, often commented on how Highsmith's vision of reality was a warped one. In April 1947, she transcribed into her notebook what was, presumably, a real dialogue between herself and her mother, in which Mary accused her of not facing the world. Highsmith replied that she did indeed view the world 'sideways, but since the world faces reality sideways, sideways is the only way the world can be looked at in true perspective.' The problem, Highsmith said, was that her psychic optics were different to those around her, but if that was the case, her mother replied, then she should equip herself with a pair of new spectacles. Highsmith was not convinced. 'Then I need a new birth,' she concluded.”

“Qué sentido tiene sacar un día del error. Eso es aún peor, porque desmientes lo habido y uno tiene que volverse a contar lo vivido o negárselo. Y sin embargo vivió lo que vivió. ¿Qué hace uno entonces con eso? ¿Tachar su vida? Eso no es posible, como tampoco renunciar a los años que fueron y ya no pueden ser de otro modo, y de ellos quedará siempre un resto, un recuerdo, aunque ahora sea fantasmagórico, algo que ocurrió y que no ocurrió. ¿Y dónde coloca uno eso, lo que ocurrió y no ocurrió?".”
