All my wife has ever taken from the Mediterranean - from that whole vast intuitive culture - are four bottles of Chianti to make into lamps, and two china condiment donkeys labelled Sally and Peppy.

Everything we feel is made of Time. All the beauties of life are shaped by it.

I think people nowadays do tend to blame their parents for everything.

Tragedy, for me, is not a conflict between right and wrong, but between two different kinds of right.

All I ever wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing and then made me mute.

Passion, you see, can be destroyed by a doctor. It cannot be created.

I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint.
