What's wrong with me, ultimately and possibly tragically, is that my will to be entertained is stronger than my will to survive. That I have survived so far with this deficiency is evidence of the strength of my will to survive. Imagine, then, what I'll do to be entertained....Reputation, sanity, the respect of marriageable men--I'm always willing to risk these things." -Jo "Boobs" Weldon
Who I'd like to meet: You'd better have a swagger...
"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." -C. Beaton
"Damn everything but the circus! Damn everything that is grim, dull, motionless, unrisking, inward turning, damn everything that won't get into the circle, that won't enjoy, that won't throw its heart into the tension, surprise, fear and delight of the circus, the round world, the full existence..." -E. E. Cummings
