~ Phan about Noah and Tobias in "Deviations: bondage
"
You should have seen the look on the listing agent's face when Phan and I took him through here. He suggested rather firmly that the chains come off the walls."
The laughter on the other end of the line was so boisterous Tobias had to pull the receiver away from his ear for a moment. "Oh, Tobias. You're shameless."
"It was Phan," Tobias protested. "He even left the chains on the bed. The poor agent looked like he was going to have a stroke. He'd come in all PC about dealing with gay owners and got smacked by BDSM hell in the form of Phan."
~ Tobias in "Deviations: bondage

~ Ghost- Lost souls (Pobby Z. Brite)
"
They were Donatello's Davids, skinny and beautiful, not heavyset like Michelangelo's. Androgynous striplings who outlined each other's bones in lipstick. And they were allowed every art and luxury and perversion the city held because of their overrouged lips and their sluts' eyes and the poetry of their hands."

"
Ghost wondered how it would feel to know that you weren't going to age anymore, that your skin would never grow creased and delicate, your hair would not turn brittle white, your hands would stay smooth and strong.

There's no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind."
