to love...

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."- C.S. Lewis

dorothy parker

i've been reading some dorothy parker again.


i love her.  always have.


she has the best quotes ever.

"Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone."

one of my faves:

"I don't know much about being a millionaire, but I'll bet I'd be darling at it." 

and this one too:

"I like to have a martini,  Two at the very most.   After three I'm under the table,  after four I'm under my host." 

love it.

"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."— Sylvia Plath
