“A chance encounter, an intent stare, a hand clasp, a running after, a sitting down, a weird, hesitant oral intercourse, a visit, an exploration of bodies, a venturing out at dusk, an extended, more intimate conversation, a decision, a stealthy return, and a glorious, abandoned night. Glittering life, you contain much that is inexplicable and much that is deceptively simple.” YR, 1952

"Affect’s saturation of form can communicate the conditions under which a historical moment appears as a visceral moment, assessing the way a thing that is happening finds its genre, which is the same as finding its event. So in addition to the unlikely possibility of deriving the state of structural historical relations from patterns of affective response, I am claiming that the aesthetic or formal rendition of affective experience provides evidence of historical processes."

“I drive down to Wall Street and break into the exchange. I go up to all the traders and cut off their balls. They don’t bleed, only dollar signs come out. They don’t miss their balls, ‘cause they’re too busy fucking you with everything else they’ve got.”

— Karen Finley, Constant State of Desire, 1986 (Hat tip to allieology)

"For Quentin Crisp, as for an artist such as Andy Warhol, failure presents an opportunity rather than a dead end; in true camp fashion, the queer artist works with rather than against failure and inhabits the darkness."
- The Queer Art of Failure, Judith/Jack Halberstam
