    Tasha Tudor
    “Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…”

    Brian Selznick
    “I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need.
