"In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality."

- William S. Burroughs

"These streets are seen through the same eyes but each time with periods of time separating it: each time belonging to yet an older boy until the body smoothes out and lines are etched until it is a young man recalling the movements of a complicated past."

- David Wojnarowicz: Close to the Knives - A Memoir of Disintegration

"In Basquiat's paintings, boys never become men, they become skeletons and skulls. Presence is expressed as absence - whether it's in the spectral bodies and disembodied skulls he paints or the words he crosses out. Basquiat is obsessed with deconstructing the images and language of his fragmented world. His work is the ultimate expression of a profound sense of "no there there", a deep hole in the soul."

- Phoebe Hoban / Basquiat

"The reason "gay closures are seldom happy endings", Waugh writes of the cinema in the 1970's, is that "we don't establish families - we just wander off looking horny, solitary, sad or dead". Waugh's half-ironic remark, "We don't establish families" is also a gesture toward the liberating notion that as gay men and women we are free to invent our own narratives, take a different road, form new definitions of family, and make new rules for the partnership we might wish to enter. The queer road movies of the 1990's, more often than not, don't have conventionally happy endings, but something has certainly changed, for they cannot be called unhappy endings, either."
