Nina LaCour
“I'm learning that it's good to think about what scares you. To bring it into the light. Even to hold it in your hands, if you can, and feel how it can't hurt you anymore. To think of it and say, 'I am not afraid.”
Nina LaCour, Watch Over Me

Adiba Jaigirdar
“She’s inching forward.
Is there a heterosexual explanation for why she’s inching forward?”
Adiba Jaigirdar, The Henna Wars

Casey McQuiston
“But, you know, that feeling? When you wake up in the morning and you have somebody to think about? Somewhere for hope to go? It's good. Even when it's bad, it's good.”
Casey McQuiston, One Last Stop

A.S. King
“Because this has to stop now. Life's too short to live the whole thing underground.”
A.S. King, Dig

A.S. King
“I've never understood white people who can't admit they're white. I mean, white isn't just a color. And maybe that's the problem for them. White is a passport. It's a ticket. The world is a white amusement park and your white skin buys you into it. A woman in economy argued with me about this once. She said, "I've heard this idea and it makes me uncomfortable."

"It probably should," I said.

Dad and I have been broke since he got cancer and sometimes he can't put the heat on over sixty-two or put food in the fridge, but we were always white and he always made sure I knew that. Which sounds stupid because how can a person not know they're white, right?

You don't have to be racist to not know you're white.

But sometimes you do. And Marla has no idea she's white or that the whole world was made for people like her.”
A.S. King, Dig
