Drag Quotes - Page 11

Those who understand it must become free from all the miseries that the others drag with them.

• Remembering how my mother looked before she gave birth to my sister is frightening. But even more frightening is the feeling that I wanted them to catch me and beat me.

My hands are trembling, I feel cold, and there is a distant humming in my ears.
