Don't rely on others to speak for you. It would be a miracle that anything got done in the world.

You don't need to have big hairy feet to read The Hobbit, why should you be gay to read a gay book?

Being lesbian isn't a way of life, it's a trivial attribute that doesn't change your character.

I don’t want anyone to hold back who they are. It’s not okay… it’s not a good thing

I closed my eyes and resigned myself to the fact that my boyfriend was a pervert. He was lucky he was so cute.

I don’t have enough gross words in my gross vocabulary to describe how gross that gross thought is. Gross.

So damn pigheaded. I’ve studied you, not to report you, Caspar, but because I want a relationship with you.

Race, gender, religion, sexuality, we are all people and that's it. We're all people. We're all equal.

Remember that you don't owe anyone an apology. You are who you are, you have no choice, and that is beautiful.

This is a team of gay dudes, isn't it?"What gave it away? The pink shirts, or half our team drooling over you?

I think you've got to get out whatever's hurting you through your art, so it doesn't twist you up inside.

It doesn’t matter where I am, or who I’m with . . . God, Caspar. I’ve dreamed about being with you.

Self pity becomes your oxygen. But you learned to breathe it without a gasp. So, nobody even notices you're hurting.

It comes to this then: there always have been people like me and always will be, and generally they have been persecuted.
