"It must be really difficult for people to recognise me as one of the most brilliant minds of my generation--half the time I sound like Cookie Monster" - Kalev

"Was he crossbred with a weasel?" - John Trueman on one of my exs

Kalev: "Well, prod your pseudo-ex Internet soulmate enough and one year later, you'll actually get the photo he took of you when he finally came to visit during the most traumatic period of your life."
michael: "ah, casey. now he's here, now he's not. he's never quite there, but he's never quite gone. he's limbo-casey! inbetween-casey! he's dungeon master from _dungeons & dragons_!!!

'but casey, what do we do now? casey? casey?!?! aw, he's gone again!'"

Kalev: "Ha! And you think you could be a force for evil?"
michael: "Oh no, I have no problem imagining you as being a competing force!"

"It is better to be hated for what one is than loved for what one is not." - André Gide

"What?! You want a vacation? We already give you weekends off... and you take them!" - John Hawthorne

"Cogito Eggo Sum--I think therefore I am a waffle." - Matt Brauer

"Certainly it is true that putting people into categories like 'gay' oppresses or at least limits them, but it is also true that it gives them power and political cohesion, that it strengthens their collective resolve to fight back against homophobic campaigns to strip them of their basic civil rights. The queer theorist's quixotic vision of a label-less polymorphous utopia, in which carefree hedonists 'challenge the compulsory male-female binary' and play a dizzying round of sexual musical chairs, changing partners, proclivities, and even genders at will, is a politically inexpedient pipe dream. Such unrealistic visions could potentially jeopardize the gay liberation movement and deal a significant blow to our solidarity, turning back the clock on gay rights to an era in which avoiding labels was a dire professional and emotional necessity, not the arid intellectual pastime of bed-swapping academics who relish the euphoric pleasures of self-erasure while ignoring their dangers." - Author Daniel Harris in the Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review, June 1998 issue.

"You're pathetic! The whole earth may be sucked into hell and you want my help because your girlfriend's a big ho? Well, let me take this opportunity to not care!" - Buffy to Spike in "Becoming Part II," the 2nd season finale of Buffy The Vampire Slayer

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

"I would much rather have the children of the United States know about oral sex than listen to Oral Roberts." - Gay author Gore Vidal on KQED-San Francisco's "Forum" program, March 11

"The height of the drama is inversely proportional to the depth of your maturity." - From Shelly Roberts' upcoming book Roberts' Rules of Lesbian Dating

"No one has yet addressed the really burning question in the whole George Michael affair: will Elton sing at his trial? I thought a sensitive reworking of one of his old classics might result in a dignified chorus of 'I guess that's why they call them the loos'." - Columnist Graham Norton in London's The Pink Paper, April 17
