We were so shell-shocked from the attacks that we sort of regressed into this childlike mode of filling our apartment with ’80s memorabilia.

Just the freaks, the fags, the fat girls, the unbelievable eccentrics .” ~ Michael Stipe

And this brings up one final question: Where-if anywhere-do our actual limits lie?” ~ Steven Kotler

Members of this secret sect met at night beneath the full moon, for these were the “misfits” and “outcasts” who did not fit into mainstream society.

These include gays, lesbians, transgendered individuals, and other people with the courage to live their lives authentically in accord with who they are inside their hearts, minds, and spirits.” ~ Raven Grimassi

- “I was the green monkey, the pariah. And I had no friends. Not just a few friends, or one good friend, or grudging acceptance by other misfits and outcasts. I was alone. All stinking alone, without even an imaginary playmate.” ~ Harlan Ellison
