Quote by Shaye Evans

“I was denying myself. I knew, but… I was faced with the past again, you know. To admit that I liked you, I had to also admit that I’m gay, and while I don’t have a problem with that…” He trailed off, sighing as he shook his head. “It’s confusing.” “No, it’s not.” I took his hand and twined our fingers. For some reason, it felt familiar. “You don’t want to be the gay kid who made his father crash, but by admitting you like me, you had to face your past… like I do every day.”

“Lorsque l'amour existe réellement, l'amant devient la nourriture de l'Aimé ; ce n'est pas l'Aimé qui est la nourriture de l'amant, car l'Aimé ne peut être contenu dans la capacité de l'amant (...) Le papillon qui est devenu l'amant de la flamme, a pour nourriture, tant qu'il est encore à distance, la lumière de cette aurore. C'est le signe avant-coureur de l'illumination matutinale qui l'appelle et qui l'accueille. Mais il lui faut continuer de voler jusqu'à ce qu'il la rejoigne. Lorsqu'il y est arrivé, ce n'est plus à lui de progresser vers la flamme, c'est la flamme qui progresse en lui. Ce n'est pas la flamme qui lui est une nourriture, c'est lui qui est la nourriture de la flamme. Et c'est là un grand mystère. Un instant fugitif il devient son propre Aimé (puisqu'il est la flamme). Et sa perfection, c'est cela.”

“Obviously, a rigid, blinkered, absolutist world view is the easiest to keep hold of, whereas the fluid, uncertain, metamorphic picture I've always carried about is rather more vulnerable. Yet I must cling with all my might to … my own soul; must hold on to its mischievous, iconoclastic, out-of-step clown-instincts, no matter how great the storm. And if that plunges me into contradiction and paradox, so be it; I've lived in that messy ocean all my life. I've fished in it for my art. This turbulent sea was the sea outside my bedroom window in Bombay. It is the sea by which I was born, and which I carry within me wherever I go.”
