Top 25 Vivek Shraya Quotes (2024 Update)

Vivek Shraya Quote: “As important as it is to make these incidents visible by reporting them, sensationalizing and digesting these stories is also a form of social control, a reminder that I need to be afraid and to try to be as invisible as possible.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “The beauty of life is that it ends. If I were mortal and could be granted anything, I assure you, my request would not be for something as dull as longetivity.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear. I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear the word girl by turning it into a weapon they used to hurt me. I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to hate and eventually destroy my femininity. I’m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear the extraordinary parts of myself.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “But your fear is not only hurting me, it’s hurting you, limiting you from being everything you could be. Consider how often you have dismissed your own appearance, behaviours, emotions, and aspirations for being too feminine or masculine. What might your life be if you didn’t impose these designations on yourself, let alone on me?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Why is my humanity only seen or cared about when I share the ways in which I have been victimized and violated?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “What would my body look and feel like if I didn’t have to mold it into both a shield and an ornament? How do I love a body that was never fully my own?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Sexist comments, intimidation, groping, violating boundaries, and aggression are merely seen as “typical” for men. But “typical” is dangerously interchangeable with “acceptable”.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “The disdain for women and femininity is insidious, infecting even those who profess to love women, and it takes many forms.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “What was it about whiteness that seemed to elicit an infinite spring of faith and second chances?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Queerness is associated with freedom from boundaries.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “How cruel it is to have endured two decades of being punished for being too girly only to be told that I am now not girly enough.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Why is being touch by strangers – strangers who refuse to identify themselves – a form of flattery?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Falling in love with another human is terrifying. As our language insists, romantic love is always preceded by a fall, the necessity of losing control and potentially hurting yourself in the process of connecting with another.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “What if you were to challenge yourself every time you feel afraid of me – and all of us who are pushing against gendered expectations and restrictions? What if you cherished us as archetypes of realized potential? What if you were to surrender to sublime possibility – yours and mine? Might you then free me at last of my fear, and of your own?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “The saddest part of the night is when I peel my bindi off my forehead and let it fly into the wind a symbolic parting with a piece of myself.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “The history and current state of western masculinity is predicated on diminishing and desecrating the feminine, therefore, healthier masculinity must be one that honors and embraces femininity as many non-western cultures have long prescribed.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “She always knew she was on the verge of invention at the precise moment when originality felt impossible. That instead of surrendering to despair, she would needle in and out and through her brain until an idea surfaced – naked, stripped of predictability and familiarity. By embedding herself into her song, she muted any risk of passing off mimicry as art. Why wasn’t fully committing to creation more desirable than observing what everyone else was doing and doing the same?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “I’m also afraid that the most prevalent response these stories will elicit is pity. Even worse, I’m afraid of the necessity of eliciting pity in order to generate concern or galvanize change.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “My friendship with you marks the first time in my adult life when a man not only makes me feel that I can offer what I’ve chosen to offer, but also that it will be welcomed.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Falling in love with theory was not unlike falling in love with a human.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Unlike many artists, she had never considered herself a mere vessel for the muse, or a medium, or even a parent. Her songs weren’t her “babies”. Her songs were her.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “The marginalized individual is systematically concretized into an identity – through either discrimination or the guise of acceptance – as a restraint, because there’s nothing more frightening than fluidity.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “Some friendships need to die. Sometimes we’re so trapped in old patterns or comforts that we don’t offer anything meaningful to each other except history.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “I wish we could go back to that moment. The discovering each other phase. The addictive self-revelation through another’s eyes phase.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “This is how Selfhood began. For me to rediscover my independence, I had to slow down and tune into my body again.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “What would my body look like if I didn’t want affection from gay men and protection from straight men? What would my body look and feel like if I didn’t have to mould it into both a shield and an ornament? How do I love a body that was never fully my own?”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “He discovered that a home could break, but a heart could not. That their home could break, but his heart would not despite how much he wished it would. His heart could actually withstand the dissolution of his home, and this was where the pain came from. Pain was his heart bearing and bearing and bearing and bearing and bearing and bearing and bearing.”
Vivek Shraya Quote: “I just spend a lot of time alone in my apartment, and my favorite moments are the rare ones that are word-free, thought-free, tweet-free.”
