“Il n'est plus question de pays ni de terre. Pas d'archétype non plus. Rien qui soit rattaché à quelque région, ville, place, maison. Dans les yeux de l'Américain, j'ai compris cela : le seul endroit sur Terre dont je peux revendiquer l'appartenance est le périmètre de ma peau. C'est là seul, le vrai lieu qui est mien. Et le désir qui le hante, l'appétit, la souveraine pulsion de vie, me rappellent à chaque instant ses contours, ses reliefs, sa présence. ~ p 140”

“I had great femme mentors, I had good role models of gentle men, I found ways to be a butch that did not require being an ass in public, ways of masculinity that were not misogyny - which is what I see more often than I used to these days, this way of butches distancing themselves from any and all things feminine by embodying the worst excesses of men, from relatively harmless ones like spitting on the street and wearing too much cheap cologne to behaving as though women were an entirely separate species of second-class citizen, the objects of jokes and derision.”

“A believer is not necessarily someone who never had any doubts about the existence of God but rather someone who did not submit to skepticism and doubt. A believer is the one who fights agnosticism; an agnostic is the one who submits to it. To put it differently—a believer is the one whose atheism (or agnosticism) submits to his or her faith (or belief); an atheist is the one whose faith (if there is any) submits to atheism rather than submitting to faith or agnosticism; an agnostic is the one in whom faith and disbelief are equally present. This equidistance to God and atheism makes agnostics appear somewhat indifferent about these questions. Agnostics would rather wait for proof than bother tirelessly with the question without evidence. In believers, faith wins; in atheists, disbelief wins; in agnostics, neither belief nor disbelief wins.”
