"We can never really put the past back together again in the way that memory promises."

- J. Halberstam, The Queer Art of Failure (via ibik23)

"Capitalism turns its homosexuals into failed normal people, just as it turns its working class into an imitation of the middle class."

- Capitalism, the Family and the Anus p94, by Guy Hocquenghem (via kajar)

"To simply repudiate the connections between queerness and negativity is to commit an unbearably positivist and progressive understanding of the queer, one that results in the perky depictions of lesbians in The L Word or the reduction of gay men in film and on tv to impossibly good-looking arbiters of taste."

- The Queer Art of Failure, p98, by Judith/Jack Halberstam (via kajar)

"Positive thinking is offered up in the U.S. as a cure for cancer, a path to untold riches, and a surefire way to engineer your own success. Indeed believing that success depends upon one’s attitude is far preferable to Americans than recognizing that their success is the outcome of the tilted scales of race, class, and gender."

- Judith Jack Halberstam in The Queer Art of Failure (via thehomosuperior)

"When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other."

- Michel Poiccard in Breathless (1960)
