“I've always believed," she replied, "that if God is going to be strict about anything, that He will be strict about the rules concerning hate, not love. And if two people love each other, that has to be better than two people hating each other. Beyond that, it's for God to sort out. I'm too frail to be such a judge.”
J.M. Redmann, Deaths of Jocasta

“Hell was grey. Dim and lifeless... I felt numb and in pain at the same time and that was not supposed to happen in heaven. But you would think that with all the queers they had sent here since time began, hell would have a better decorating job.”
J.M. Redmann, Death by the Riverside

“Love is a miracle, not a salvation.”
J.M. Redmann, Death by the Riverside
