Elizabeth Taylor
“A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.”
Elizabeth Taylor

John   Waters
“You should never read just for "enjoyment." Read to make yourself smarter! Less judgmental. More apt to understand your friends' insane behavior, or better yet, your own. Pick "hard books." Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for god's sake, don't let me ever hear you say, "I can't read fiction. I only have time for the truth." Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid.”
John Waters, Role Models

Edith Wharton
“If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time.”
Edith Wharton

Oscar Wilde
“memory, like a horrible malady, was eating his soul away”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Anna Akhmatova
“You will hear thunder and remember me,
and think: she wanted storms...”
Anna Akhmatova
