For beautiful eyes II





die roten lippen






une collaboration spirituelle consentie entre dix personnes supérieures éparses dans l'univers




Le roman, ainsi conçu, ainsi condensé en une page ou deux,
deviendrait une communion de pensée entre un magique écrivain et un
idéal lecteur, une collaboration spirituelle consentie entre dix
personnes supérieures éparses dans l'univers, une délectation
offerte aux délicats, accessible à eux seuls.

Knowing the difference between right and wrong does not depend on one's socioeconomic class.




Being born in poverty is no excuse for not knowing the difference between right and wrong.  I would even say that being a member of an oppressed group would ideally mean that one is even clearer than those have not been oppressed to recognize what is right and what is wrong, what benefits others and what hurts or injuries others, and to act accordingly.

Knowing the difference between right and wrong is the birthright of every human being.  No one can take it away from you.

And being born into wealth or having made a tidy bundle in the stock market--we all know--does not mean that one knows the difference between and wrong, either.

For beautiful eyes



"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

When a woman gets excited or emotional



“When a woman gets excited or emotional, she tends to raise her voice.  Now, there is nothing more unattractive than screeching.”     - Howard Hawks  quoted in
Todd McCarthy, The Grey Fox of Hollywood



Alors, dites ca aux femmes americaines, s.v.p.

Cezanne sur Poussin ("Le Triomphe de Flore")






« Je voudrais, comme dans le Triomphe de Flore, unir les courbes des femmes à des épaules de collines… Je voudrais comme Poussin, mettre de la raison dans l’herbe et des pleurs dans le ciel. »
Paul Cezanne
