"But how can a woman of genius marry?  A man of genius will not love her; he wants repose.  She may find some object sufficient to excite her ideal for a time but love perishes as soon as it finds it has grasped the shadow for the substance.  Divorce must take place for the large nature will not find one capable of continuing its consort…Such a woman cannot long remain wed, again she is single, again must seek and strive.  Social wedlock is ordinarily mere subterfuge and simulacrum; it could not check a powerful woman or a powerful man."

- Margaret Fuller

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won't hurt."

- Hunter S. Thompson's suicide letter

"Hitchcock said he would never be able to touch that book, and I thought, 'OK, I'll show you, old man.' Later I realized that he was right. It was not my style, but I had no style then - it came later."
