“What a strange world it is where you can have as much sex as you like but love is taboo. I'm talking about the real thing, the grand passion, which may not allow affection or convenience or happiness. The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down. That's the size of it, the immensity of it. It's not proper, it's not clean, it's not containable.” IfsWorldLoveHeartMayRealPassionSexLove IsTalkingStrangeTruth IsBuiltCleanSizeAffectionIceConvenienceTabooReal ThingsImmensityStrange World Author:Jeanette Winterson

“One little human truth is that opinionated people don't hold much with other people's opinions, and it is a great pleasure to some of them to be able to ascribe incurable defects, such as belonging to a certain sex; or base motives, or lack of understanding, to anyone whose views they disagree with.” PeopleHumansLittlesAbleCertainSexUnderstandingPleasureViewsOpinionTruth IsMotiveBelongingDisagreeDefectsOpinionatedLack Of Understanding Author:Katherine Anne Porter
“The very dull truth is that writing love scenes is the same as writing other scenes - your job is to be fully engaged in the character's experience. What does this mean to them? How are they changed by it, or not?

“We think that if we get tested, that means you have to have HIV. Or we think that just by knowing someone with HIV, we're going to get HIV or because he's gay or she's a lesbian or whatever. This false information has been put out there and it's created this stigma that stops us from going to find out if we're infected. The truth is it doesn't matter who you are, if you're having sex, you need to be getting tested, plain and simple.” IfsThinkingNeedsMeanHas BeensMatterSexSimpleKnowingInformationTruth IsGayWho You AreTestedHivStigmaHaving SexPlain And SimpleKnowing Someone Author:Jay Ellis
