Quotations:
--------------
"A distorted reality is now a necessity to be free"

"Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything."

"...but beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid..."

"So it goes."
