Salman Rushdie
“The beautiful came to this city [Hollywood] in huge pathetic herds, to suffer, to be humiliated, to see the powerful currency of their beauty devalued like the Russian ruble or Argentine peso;to work as bellhops, as bar hostesses, as garbage collectors, as maids. The city was a cliff and they were its stampeding lemmings. At the foot of the cliff was the valley of the broken dolls.”
Salman Rushdie, Shalimar the Clown

Franz Kafka
“There is a destination but no way there; what we refer to as way is hesitation.”
Franz Kafka, The Zürau Aphorisms
