Gertrude Stein
“You look ridiculous if you dance
You look ridiculous if you don't dance
So you might as well
dance.”
Gertrude Stein, Three Lives

Gertrude Stein
“Nothing is really so very frightening when everything is so very dangerous”
Gertrude Stein

Mikhail Bulgakov
“In the first few seconds an aching sadness wrenched his heart, but it soon gave way to a feeling of sweet disquiet, the excitement of gypsy wanderlust”
Mikhail Bulgakov

Gertrude Stein
“Once upon a time Baltimore was necessary.”
Gertrude Stein

Sylvia Plath
“God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of "parties" with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
