More quotes by Alison Bechdel
It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.
Alison Bechdel
The secret subversive goal of my work is to show that women, not just lesbians, are regular human beings.
Alison Bechdel
Grief takes many forms, including the absence of grief
Alison Bechdel
People really want to think that these things really happened. I don't know why that is important, but I know that when I finish reading a novel or something, I want to know how much of that really happened to this author.
Alison Bechdel
I don't know how anyone gets anything done in New York City. I vastly prefer living in the country. I just need a lot of quiet and solitude, and I'm so easily distracted. I mean, the Internet is enough to deal with.
Alison Bechdel
At first I was glad for the help. My freshmen English class, Mythology and Archetypal Experience, confounded me. I didn't understand why we couldn't just read books without forcing contorted interpretations on then

Alison Bechdel

Alison Bechdel
I probably read Harriet the Spy about 70,000 times.
Alison Bechdel
The writing is hard, and the drawing is fun. It's very satisfying to see a drawing start to come together.
Alison Bechdel
I still found literary criticism to be a suspect activity
Alison Bechdel
In a narcissistic cathexis, you invest more energy into your ideas about another person than in the actual, objective, external person. So the man who falls in love with beauty is quite different from the man who loves a girl and feels she is beautiful and can see what is beautiful about her.
Alison Bechdel
Was Daedalus really stricken with grief when Icarus fell into the sea? Or just disappointed by the design failure
Alison Bechdel
I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.
Alison Bechdel
I'm not that good of a drawer. I don't know how people just draw stuff out of their head. I'm always creating schemes. If I have to draw someone sitting in a chair, I have to go find a chair, sit in it, and take a picture of myself sitting in it.
