It's like watching Paris from an express caboose

There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction...every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour

Sylvia Plath ♥ - I

What did my arms do before they held you?

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart.

I am, I am, I am

The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.

Kiss me and you'll know how important I am

If you expect nothing from anybody, you're never disappointed.

Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between

There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends

Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted.

Is there no way out of the mind?

I talk to God but the sky is empty

Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning

If the moon smiled, she would resemble you.

You leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.

I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.

The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it.

I love life...

Can you understand? 

Someone, somewhere, 

can you understand me a little, love me a little? 

For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that... 

I love life.

 But it is hard, and I have so much... so very much to learn

Choosing one meant losing all the rest...

I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. 

I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet

I'm neurotic as hell.

If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things 

at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. 

I'll be flying back and forth between 

one mutually exclusive thing and 

another for the rest of my days.

Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;

I lift my lids and all is born again.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,

And arbitrary blackness gallops in:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed

And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:

Exit seraphim and Satan's men:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,

But I grow old and I forget your name.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;

At least when spring comes they roar back again.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

I am horribly limited

I can never read all the books I want;

 I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. 

I can never train myself in all the skills I want. 

And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, 

tones and variations of mental 

and physical experience possible in life. 

And I am horribly limited

Death must be so beautiful.

Death must be so beautiful. 

To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses 

waving above one's head, and listen to silence.

 To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. 

To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace

I have to live my life...

I love people. Everybody. I love them, 
I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. 
Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation 
is raw material for me. 
My love's not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either.
 I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, 
and then come back to write about my thoughts,
 my emotions, as that person. 
But I am not omniscient. 
I have to live my life, and it is the only one I'll ever have. 
And you cannot regard your own life 
with objective curiosity all the time...

All I want is blackness...blackness and silence.

Sometimes I feel like I am not… Solid. 
I'm hollow. There’s… Nothing behind my eyes.
 I'm a negative of a person. 
It's as if I never... I never thought anything. 
I never wrote... anything, I never felt anything. 
All I want is blackness... 
blackness and silence. 
Look, one thing I do know about death.. 
is it is not a...a reunion or a homecoming. 
There's... there is no your life doesn't flash 
before you and the missing pieces of you dont click into place. 
Its just…. there's fuck all. 
There is nothing. 
So what do you do when your life... gets as bad it can. 
And just keeps getting worse

Vivien Leigh ♥

Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.

I have just made out my will and given all the things I have and many that I haven't

I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.

I am going to be a great actress.

My parents were absolutely delighted that I knew what I wanted to do.

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy - and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

I feel part of a great theatrical tradition

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.

I don't know what that Method is. Acting is life, to me, and should be.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously

I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.

I think all this talk about acting is - you just have to act, you have to do the thing, you have to practice the art, just like a painter practices his art, just like a writer writes.

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

You gain strength, courage and confidence 

by every experience in which you really 

stop to look fear in the face. 

You are able to say to yourself, 

"I have lived through this horror. 

I can take the next thing that comes along." 

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Nothing is original...Authenticity is invaluable

Nothing is original. 

Steal from anywhere that resonates 

with inspiration or fuels your imagination. 

Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. 

If you do this, your work will be authentic. 

Authenticity is invaluable; 

originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “

It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to

Friendship is the best thing that comes to life ♥

Friendship is the best thing that comes to life . 

Friends will always be there for you

 Don't worry about the fakes worry about the people 

who had your back from the start and never treated you wrong 

Always remember they are your real friends 

Don't never take them as granted because one day 

your going to lose a good friend by the way your action's are. 

When you see a good friend stick to that person

Learn to be a good friend ♥

When you have a good friend that really cares for you 

and tires to stick in there with you , 

you treat them like nothing.

 Learn to be a good friend because one day 

your gonna look up and say I lost a good friend 

Learn how to be respectful to your friends 

don't just start aurgements with them and don't tell them the reason 

always remember your friends will be there quicker 

than your family, learn too remember you got great friends 

don't forgot that and they will always care for you 

no matter what always remember to smile 

and look up at what you got in life

Always believe in yourself ♥

This life is what you make it. 
Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. 
But the good part is... 
you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. 


Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. 
But just remember, some come, some go. 
The ones that stay with you through everything 
- they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.

Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. 
As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. 
And babe, I hate to say it, most of them  
actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, 
but you can't give up becuase if you give up, 
you'll never find your soul mate. 


You'll never find that half who makes you whole 
and that goes for everything. 
Just because you fail once, doesn't mean 
you're gonna fail at everything. 
Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, 
always believe in yourself, because if you don't, 
then who will, sweetie? 


So keep your head high, keep your chin up, 
and most importantly, keep smiling, 
because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about

Marylin Monroe Quotes II ♥

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they're pretty, even if they aren't.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.

I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone's wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.

I read poetry to save time

I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.

It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone

Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world

The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another

Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world

If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't

You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.

I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity

Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about

Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together

Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love

I live to suceed, not to please you or anyone else

Marylin Monroe Quotes ♥

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you

I make mistakes, I am out of controls and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it

Diamonds are a girls best friend

Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature.

I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.

I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left

If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything

Dogs never bite me. Just humans.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.

A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up with it on a cold night.

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.

First, I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll convince myself that I'm an actress.

Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love

An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.

Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.

I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.

Edie Sedgwick - The Ciao Manhattan Tapes

But fashion as a whole is a farce, 

completely the people behind it are perverted, 

the styles are created by freaked out people, 

just natural weirdos... 

♥

Darren Aronofsky ♥

I couldn't sleep one night and I was sitting in my office 
and I realized that I was an independent filmmaker.

I'm Godless. 
I've had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking

When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.

I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets.

So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on 
because then you can never really blame yourself
 for making the wrong choices. 
You can always say you're following your passion.

As filmmakers, we can show where a person's mind goes, 
as opposed to theater, which is more to sit back and watch it.

I have a hard time doing two things at once

I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. 
I didn't want it to be a star-driven thing anymore.

Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium.
 It's incredibly underused

To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. 
My worst fear is making a film that people don`t think is a good ride

I'll take different threads from different ideas and 
weave a carpet of cool ideas together

Every story has its own film grammar, so you have to sort of figure out 
what the story is about and then figure out what each scene is about, 
and then that tells you where to put the camera
