More quotes by Andrew Solomon
Identity itself should be not a smug label or a gold medal but a revolution.
Andrew Solomon
I had known a couple of people who had died, but the loss of my mother contained something of the profoundly unknowable.
Andrew Solomon
We live in the right time, even if it doesn't always feel like it.
Andrew Solomon
I hate the comparative idea that you have to love your spouse more than you love your parents.
Andrew Solomon
People who believe that they are going to be excommunicated and shamed, or whatever other dark things may happen to them, are much less likely to enter open, loving relationships. And they are also much less likely to have the self-esteem that is required to be monogamous and loving. And in consequence, they are much less likely to create families.
Andrew Solomon
I like the relative literacy of at least some of England. I mean, I didn't come for the food or the weather!
Andrew Solomon
It seems particularly ironic that a church that at one stage, a long time ago, fought to redefine marriage should now be so opposed to these attempts to redefine marriage.

Andrew Solomon

Andrew Solomon
Some autistic people may emerge from their condition, but nobody knows when and why.
Andrew Solomon
Your gender identity is who you are. Sexual identity is who you bounce that off of.
Andrew Solomon
I understand why there would be prohibitions on straying from monogamy because of the harm that it does not only to the person who is betrayed, but also to the person who is betraying. Betray is a sort of shorthand for what happens.
Andrew Solomon
The Church responds to antiquated social realities, and those realities remain much more current in Utah precisely because of the Church.
Andrew Solomon
Every organization does good and bad things.
Andrew Solomon
In these xenophobic times, when politicians are stoking everyone's anxiety about threats from abroad, I would argue that engaging with the rest of the world is not only a luxury, in the way that travel is, but actually a moral responsibility.
Andrew Solomon
I believe that organized religion is an ornament to the truth, and that aesthetics are part of its power.
Andrew Solomon
Depressed people cannot lead a revolution because depressed people can barely manage to get out of bed and put on their shoes and socks.
Andrew Solomon
And I found out about the wonderful world of sign language. I suddenly realized: If we as a society recognize Jewish culture, gay culture and Latino culture, we must recognize that this is a coherent culture, too. I think deafness is a disability for social constructionist reasons.
