Lost time is like a run in a stocking. It always gets worse.

Frenchwomen just never look ungroomed, do they?

Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.

The collector walks with blinders on; he sees nothing but the prize. In fact, the acquisitive instinct is incompatible with true appreciation of beauty.

People don't want to be understood - I mean not completely. It's too destructive. Then they haven't anything left. They don't want complete sympathy or complete understanding. They want to be treated carelessly and taken for granted lots of times.

I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.

I think best with a pencil in my hand.
