Boris Pasternak

I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.

Man is born to live and not to prepare to live.

I come here to speak poetry. It will always be in the grass. It will also be necessary to bend down to hear it. It will always be too simple to be discussed in assemblies.

I despise - I hate - I'm terrified of karaoke, and I wish I wasn't because everybody I know who's awesome loves it.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.
