“Real cities have something else, some individual bony structure under the muck. Los Angeles has Hollywood -- and hates it. It ought to consider itself damn lucky. Without Hollywood it would be a mail order city. Everything in the catalogue youi could get better somewhere else.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Little Sister

“I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship, was that one had to explain nothing”
― Katherine Mansfield

“I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.”
― Richard Dawkins

“I believe my life has value, and I don't want to waste it thinking about clothing . . . I don't want to think about what I will wear in the morning. Truly, can you imagine anything more boring than fashion? Professional sports, perhaps. Grown men swatting little balls, while the rest of the world pays money to applaud. But, on the whole, I find fashion even more tedious than sports”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park
