"Flowers really do intoxicate me."

--

Vita Sackville-West

“People are beautiful wrecks.”
“We do not want to be in the middle of an axis that starts in the Mediterranean and ends in Tehran. We do not want to be a barricade for [Iran's] nuclear facilities.”
“When I mentioned about Adlai Stevenson, if he was vice president there would never have been an assassination of our beloved President Kennedy”
“I don't think the United States needs superpatriots. We need patriotism, honestly practiced by all of us, and we don't need these people that are more patriotic than you or anyone else.”
“I don't care where I sit, as long as I get fed.”
“Confine yourself to the present.”
“The death of a beloved is an amputation.”
“One of my first observations about New York that I was so fascinated with was that you'd be at a stoplight and you're with everybody; there's a homeless dude and some weird celebrity and a cop and someone who looks exactly like you. You're on foot and everyone is at street level and eye-to-eye. I think that's what's special about New York, because there's no hierarchy, there's no discrimination.”
