Happy Valentines Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don't give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it.

I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create. Just on the other side of creativity is the nuthouse - and I often notice people looking at me strangely when I am talking out loud, but there is no other way.

It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.

A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it?

For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.

I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.

The trouble is that when most people are apathetic ordinary people ... have to go too far, have to ruin their lives and be made an object of scorn just to get the point across. Did they really think I'd rather be camping by a polluted river than sitting in my own flat with my things about me?

I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

In the economy of the body, the limbic highway takes precedence over the neural pathways. We were designed and built to feel, and there is no thought, no state of mind, that is not also a feeling state. Nobody can feel too much, though many of us work very hard at feeling too little. Feeling is frightening.

Sometimes I think of you and I feel giddy. Memory makes me lightheaded, drunk on champagne. All the things we did. And if anyone has said this was the price I would have agreed to pay it. That surprises me that with the hurt and the mess comes a shift of recognition. It was worth it. Love is worth it.

I hate the word lesbian it tells you nothing its only purpose is to inflame.

I’m not club-able, you see. I don’t like literary parties and literary gatherings and literary identities. I’d hate to join anything, however loosely.

When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun.

Our own front door can be a wonderful thing, or a sight we dread rarely is it only a door.

I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing I didn't think I had to.

The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body.

I like to think the price I paid by being open about my private life helped.
