Quote by Jeanette LeBlanc

“Queerness is reclamation. It is powerful and subversive and fierce and undeniably holy. Yes. It is. But to have a lived experience of queerness is also to hold an intimate knowledge of othering. It is to hold rejection, fear, or violence in your body - whether historical or actual or potential - at all times because of nothing more than who the soft animal of our good queer bodies bends toward loving.”

“A sound of laughter was heard-they turned sharply. Vera Claythorne was standing in the yard. She cried out in a high shrill voice, shaken with wild bursts of laughter: "Do they keep bees on this island? Tell me that. Where do we go for honey? Ha! ha!" They stared at her uncomprehendingly. It was as though the sane well-balanced girl had gone mad right before their eyes. She went on in that high unnatural voice: "Don't stare like that! As though you thought I was mad. It's sane enough what I'm asking. Bees, hives, bees! Oh, don't you understand? Haven't you read that idiotic rhyme? It's up in all of your bedrooms-put it there for you to study! We might have come here straightaway if we'd had sense. Seven little soldiers chopping up sticks. And the next verse, I know the whole thing by heart, I tell you! Six little soldier boys playing with a hive. And that's why I'm asking-do they keep bees on this island- isn't it damned funny...?”

“Jer, ako ima boga, on je samo jedan. I ne treba ti mač i crkva da mu budeš odan. On od tebe jednostavno želi da budeš dobar, a ne da plaćaš popa i da se šlihtaš do groba. Ako sve ovo ikad kažeš, izdajnik si roda. Jer ovde si to: vera, nacija i boja. Ljudi umiru zbog toga, zbog slučajne lutrije, a da su izvučeni drugde, sve bi bilo drukčije: voleli bi ono sto sad mrze jednakim žarom, i opet bi im bilo vredno da to plate glavom. (Pismo vanzemaljcu)”
