It was really sad Bobby Neuwirth's and my affair. The only true, passionate, and lasting love scene, and I practically ended up in the psychopathic ward. I had really learned about sex from him, making love, loving, giving. It just completely blew my mind it drove me insane. I was like a sex slave to this man. I could make love for forty-eight hours, forty-eight hours, forty-eight hours, without getting tired. But the minute he left me alone, I felt so empty and lost that I would start popping pills.
Edie SedgwickI can understand other people's situations in their own terms, but I still can't understand mine.
Edie SedgwickI want to reach people and express myself. You have to put up with the risk of being misunderstood if you are going to try to communicate. You have to put up with people projecting their own ideas, attitudes, misunderstanding you. But itโs worth being a public fool if thatโs all you can be in order to communicate yourself.
Edie SedgwickI lived a very isolated life. When you start at 20, you have a lot of nonsense to work out of your system.
