1 " I have been skating on the dark side of the moon.The stars glance down at me like cold, gleaming panther eyes.Even though there is no oxygen I can still breathe. "
― , Tenderness in Hell: Collected Poems by Vytautas Pliura
2 " I have been skating on the dark side of the moon..My blades are sharp. My shoelaces are tight.It is deathly quiet on the dark side of the moon. "
3 " You begin to kiss me as though You are getting oxygen out of each kiss. "
4 " „It is ok for two men to kill each other in war, but it is not okfor those two same men to make love "
5 " „Now they stand along Santa Monica Blvd. with a haunted lookon their faces like ghost unsure for their next move "
6 " I was murdered, snuffed out, by this society fullof lies and deceptionMurdered by a deadly conspiracy of feelings. "
7 " I want to love someoneMaybe this time I would let them love me back. "
8 " And for the first time I looked at myself straight in the mirrorAnd I broke down and cried for twenty minutesI could not stopIt was as if I had seen myself for the first time. "
