"I am tired tonight. My eyes are out of focus, my body droops under the weight of the day, but as I leave you Queer lads let me leave you singing. I had to write of a sad time as a witness - not to cloud your smiles - please read the cares of the world that I have locked in these pages; and after, put this book aside and love. May you of a better future, love without a care and remember we loved too. As the shadows closed in, the stars came out.
I am in love."
Derek Jarman (1942-1994), At Your Own Risk (pub. 1992)
Why have I added this quote? Because I've signed up to Facebook*, and needed a couple of favourite quotes for my profile, that's why.
* God help me.
