“It took so long to find you...and now I don't want it to change. I want it all set in amber. I want us and nobody else in the most selfish way you can imagine. I can't help it--I'm old-fashioned. I believe marriage is between a man and a man.”

“The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives.”
Armistead Maupin“But I'm acutely aware that the possibility of fraud is even more prevalent in today's world because of the Internet and cell phones and the opportunity for instant communication with strangers.”

Armistead Maupin“How could I possibly NOT be disappointed by what I would find? Nothing had ever met my expectation, since nothing could compete with my doctoring imagination, my pathetic compulsion to make the world quanter, funnier, kinder, and more mysterious than it actually was.”
Armistead Maupin“Nobody's happy. What's happy? Happiness is over when the lights come on”
Armistead Maupin“The hell of it is, I know the answer. The answer is that you never, ever, rely on another person for your peace of mind. If you do, you're screwed but good. Not right away, maybe, but sooner or later. You have to -- I don't know --you have to learn to live with yourself. You have to learn to turn back your own sheets and set a table for one without feeling pathetic. You have to be strong and confident and pleased with yourself and never give the slightest impression that you can't hack it without that certain goddamn someone. You have to fake the hell out of it.”
Armistead Maupin, More Tales of the City“I couldn't write—or wouldn't write, at any rate—unable to face the grueling self-scrutiny that fiction demands”

Armistead Maupin, The Days of Anna Madrigal“I don't see myself very clearly.Then look at the people who love you...Look into their eyes and see what they're seeing”
