How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.

It is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations.

I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?
