I didn't set out to do a gay comic, but given the current political and religious climate in this country, I feel it is important as a gay person, and a Christian, to create stories with humor and honesty. ~ Paige Braddock
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Paige Braddock
Henry Gerber, writing in 1932 under the pseudonym Parisex, responded to an article in The Modern Thinker that condemned homosexuality. "Is not the psychiatrist again putting the cart before the horse in saying that homosexuality is a symptom of the neurotic style of life?" he insisted. "Would it not sound more natural to say that the homosexual is made neurotic because his style of life is beset by thousands of dangers? ~ George Chauncey
Lgbtq Literature quotes by George Chauncey
All of my books are acts of subversion disguised as historical fiction. ~ Kelly Gardiner
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Kelly Gardiner
Me? I had no dreams. No longings. Dreams only set you up for disappointment. Plus, you had to have a life to have dreams of a better life. ~ Julie Anne Peters
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Julie Anne Peters
I think therefore I am. Does that mean 'I feel therefore I'm not'? But only through feeling can I get at thinking. ~ Jeanette Winterson
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Jeanette Winterson
A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader. ~ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Literature is the extant body of written art. All novels belong to it.
The value judgement concealed in distinguishing one novel as literature and another as genre vanishes with the distinction.
Every readable novel can give true pleasure. Every novel read by choice is read because it gives true pleasure.
Literature consists of many genres, including mystery, science fiction, fantasy, naturalism, realism, magical realism, graphic, erotic, experimental, psychological, social, political, historical, bildungsroman, romance, western, army life, young adult, thriller, etc., etc…. and the proliferating cross-species and subgenres such as erotic Regency, noir police procedural, or historical thriller with zombies.
Some of these categories are descriptive, some are maintained largely as marketing devices. Some are old, some new, some ephemeral.
Genres exist, forms and types and kinds of fiction exist and need to be understood: but no genre is inherently, categorically superior or inferior.

(Hypothesis on Literature vs. Genre) ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
We honor ambition, we reward greed, we celebrate materialism, we worship acquisitiveness, we commercialize art, we cherish success and then we bark at the young about the gentle arts of the spirit. The kids know that if we really valued learning, we would pay our teachers what we pay our lawyers and stockbrokers. If we valued art, we would not measure it by its capacity to produce profits. If we regarded literature as important, we would remove it from the celebrity sweepstakes and spend a little money on our libraries. ~ Russell Baker
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Russell Baker
There is nothing political about American literature. ~ Laura Bush
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Laura Bush
Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty. ~ Moliere
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Moliere
Perfect," he groaned. "You are perfect." He sank his teeth into her ass, hard, drawing blood. "And now you wear my mark," he finished proudly. "Your ass is mine. ~ Hanna Lui
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Hanna Lui
Dog - a kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. ~ Ambrose Bierce
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Ambrose Bierce
In the same way mannequins resemble people, fiction resembles life. ~ Marty Rubin
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Marty Rubin
Anyone who says writing is easy isn't doing it right. ~ Amy Joy
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Amy Joy
The difference between humans and wild animals is that humans pray before they commit murder. ~ Friedrich Durrenmatt
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Friedrich Durrenmatt
I think, for one, the LGBTQ community is just a paragon of leadership, of standing up and saying "these are our rights, and we deserve them." As a model of activism, it's so wonderful what the community has been able to achieve towards goals like marriage equality. ~ Jill Stein
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Jill Stein
... Like having to be able to say to yourself, 'I am pretending to sit here reading Albert Camus's The Fall for the Literature of Alienation midterm, but actually I'm really concentrating on listening to Steve try to impress this girl over the phone, and I am feeling embarrassment and contempt for him, and am thinking he's a poser, and at the same time I am also uncomfortably aware of times that I've also tried to project the idea of myself as hip and cynical so as to impress someone, meaning that not only do I sort of dislike Steve, which in all honesty I do, but part of the reason I dislike him is that when I listen to him on the phone it makes me see similarities and realize things about myself that embarrass me, but I don't know how to quit doing them - like, if I quit trying to seem nihilistic, even just to myself, then what would happen, what would I be like? ~ David Foster Wallace
Lgbtq Literature quotes by David Foster Wallace
At bottom, textual criticism for virtually all other ancient literature relies on creative conjectures, or imaginative guesses, at reconstructing the wording of the original. Not so with the New Testament. ~ Daniel B. Wallace
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Daniel B. Wallace
I can only speak for myself. But what I write and how I write is done in order to save my own life. And I mean that literally. For me literature is a way of knowing that I am not hallucinating, that whatever I feel/know is. ~ Barbara Christian
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Barbara Christian
Science fiction is a literature of possibilities. ~ Liu Cixin
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Liu Cixin
The hope in literature is that we are allowed to be imperfect, to write of our imperfection, without being overly critiqued for being unlikeable. ~ Kate Zambreno
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Kate Zambreno
Literature is the original Internet – every footnote, every citation, every allusion is essentially a hyperlink to another text, to another mind. ~ Maria Popova
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Maria Popova
[Social] science fiction is that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance on human beings. ~ Isaac Asimov
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Isaac Asimov
We ought to thank God for that. Yes, the man who tills the land is more worthy of respect than any. ~ Nikolai Gogol
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Nikolai Gogol
What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)] ~ Carl Sagan
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Carl Sagan
The inner spaces that a good story lets us enter are the old apartments of religion. ~ John Updike
Lgbtq Literature quotes by John Updike
For me, fantasy must be about something, otherwise it's foolishness... ultimately it must be about human beings, it must be about the human condition, it must be another look at infinity, it must be another way of seeing the paradox of existence. ~ George Clayton Johnson
Lgbtq Literature quotes by George Clayton Johnson
Too often students are being taught to read as if literature were some kind of ethics class or civics class - or worse, some kind of self-help manual. In fact, the important thing is the way the writer uses the language. ~ Francine Prose
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Francine Prose
And I found there were myriad definitions of this thing called tragedy that had wormed its way through the history of literature; and the simplest of all was this: that it is the story of a figure who, through some moral flaw or personal failing, falls through force of circumstance to his doom. ~ Helen Macdonald
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Helen Macdonald
My literature must remain that which it is. Especially that something which does not fit into politics and does not want to serve it. I cultivate just one politics: my own. I am a separate state. ~ Witold Gombrowicz
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Witold Gombrowicz
With years of experience doing whatever it takes to get to the bottom of each story, I am looking forward to covering the stories in the human dimension and impart the passion and visceral reactions the audience seeks. ~ Geraldo Rivera
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Geraldo Rivera
There is something very romantic about the orphan figure in American literature. ~ Christopher Bollen
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Christopher Bollen
There's a long history of anthropomorphic animals in Japanese literature. The so-called 'funny animal scrolls' were the first narratives in Japanese history, and the heroes of many folk tales have animals as their companions. ~ Stan Sakai
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Stan Sakai
You never stopped thinking of yourself as a writer biding his time in the Department of Factual Verification. But between the job and the life there wasn't much time left over for emotion recollected in tranquillity. ~ Jay McInerney
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Jay McInerney
If I had had a daughter, I always knew what I would tell her. First of all, I would try to counter all outdated stereotypical claptrap that girls are commonly told about their sex--that women are valued far more for their sexual characteristics than their character and brains--and encourage her to be a truly independent person. Only knowing who she is herself will she be able to find find her own life's work and make good decisions in choosing a partner and having children. ~ Doris Anderson
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Doris Anderson
When you read a great book, you don't escape from life, you plunge deeper into it. There may be a superficial escape – into different countries, mores, speech patterns – but what you are essentially doing is furthering your understanding of life's subtleties, paradoxes, joys, pains and truths. Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic. ~ Julian Barnes
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Julian Barnes
My grandma, Mrs Grace Ayorkor Acquah said 'Educating the child is everybody's business. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
In the same way I had managed to overlook the truth of my state's history in the rosy optimism of my worldview, I never really had cause to notice my whiteness. I didn't have any impetus to until November 8, 2016, happened. I thought that I understood privilege; I'd studied it in college and pushed against injustice where I saw it. I volunteered for organizations like Planned Parenthood, argued in the face of conservatives who rolled their eyes at Black Lives Matter, and marveled in my gorgeous awakening. But my whiteness, up until that day in November, had allowed me to believe we were ultimately moving forward. Yes, people of color were being shot in the street, conservative lawmakers were trying to push anti-LGBTQ legislation in other states and on the national level, but we were waking up. We had a black president and the recognition of same-sex marriage, and my little activist heart, in all of its whiteness, just believed that things always get better. Because in whiteland, that's the way it goes. The bad guy will always lose. But then we elected the bad guy, and everything I've ever believed to be fundamentally true was incinerated and pissed on.

- Sarah Saterlee ~ Erin Passons
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Erin Passons
I once asked a hermit in Italy how he could venture to live alone, in a single cottage, on the top of a mountain, a mile from any habitation? He replied, that Providence was his next-door neighbor. ~ Laurence Sterne
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Laurence Sterne
I have to believe that literature can effect change; otherwise, I would have no purpose in my life and would have wasted four years on 'Ilustrado.' ~ Miguel Syjuco
Lgbtq Literature quotes by Miguel Syjuco
Unfortunately, there's still a market for rubbish. I picked up a recently written fantasy book at the weekend, and one character said of another: "He will grow wroth." Oh, my God. And the phrase was in a page of similar jaw-breaking, mock-archaic narrative. Belike, i'faith ... this is the language we use to turn high fantasy into third-rate romantic literature. "Yonder lies the palace of my fodder, the king." That's not fantasy - that's just Tolkien reheated until the magic boils away. ~ Terry Pratchett
