"I love Italy and I say I am from Italy wherever I go."

-- Lapo Elkann

“Critics write out of intellectual exercise, not poets. Poets write straight from the heart.”
“I write edgy, sexy teen romances, and that's what I'll continue to do.”
“My whole career has been trying to please people in basketball. Now it's time to please myself.”
“Still more labyrinthine buds the rose.”
“Every man should follow the bent of his nature in art and letters, always provided that he does not offend against the rules of morality and good taste.”
“Abundance is a state, not a quantity. Idea of shortage is man-made.”
“Beauty has always been an â€‹element of discussion for black women, whether or not we were the ones having the conversationâ€‹. Out of necessity, black women have always had to consider others' perceptions of a certain beauty ideal, just starting with the skin color.”
“God always has another custard pie up his sleeve.”
