Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
Femme aux Bras Croisés by Pablo Picasso
There are days when she feels like the woman in the painting.
Her eyes glaze over, she wears no emotion, her shoulders are hunched, her arms form a barrier to her emotions.
She doesn't want anyone to care. She doesn't want to be loved. She wants to feel hideous, hated, despised, unwanted.
Yet, she doesn't.
She doesn't, she doesn't.
Listen to her carefully, you will hear her whisper.
She wants to be cared for, to be loved, to feel beautiful, wonderful, loved, wanted, but, most of all, happy.
Truly, wonderfully, and, radiantly, happy.

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.
"How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June. . . . If it was only the other way! If it was I who were to be always young, and the picture that were to grow old! For this--for this--I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give!"
-The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Vogue Italia 1992
"He had placed himself at her feet so long that the poor little woman had been accustomed to trample upon him. She didn't wish to marry him, but she wished to keep him. She wished to give him nothing, but that he should give her all. It is a bargain not unfrequently levied in love."
- Vanity Fair, William M.Thackeray

Letting everyone down would be my greatest unhappiness.
Here she comes
Walkin down the street
Here she comes
Comin through my door
Here she comes
Crawlin up my stair
Here she comes
Waltzin through the hall
In a pretty red dress
And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
And I got this crazy feeling that Im gonna ah-ah make her mine
- Gloria,
Patti Smith

If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character.
“Anyone who's parading under a $100,00-plus video is not free from corporate. That's just the MTV advertising agency. I find them all to be just a bit of a sham.”

Johnny Rotten was a kickass, intellectual anarchist. I love him.

She hears the caustic ticking of the clock.
The prince leans to the girl in scarlet heels,
Her green eyes slant, hair flaring in a fan
Of silver as the rondo slows; now reels
Begin on tilted violins to span
The whole revolving tall glass palace hall
Where guests slide gliding into light like wine;
Rose candles flicker on the lilac wall
Reflecting in a million flagons' shine,
And glided couples all in whirling trance
Follow holiday revel begun long since,
Until near twelve the strange girl all at once
Guilt-stricken halts, pales, clings to the prince
As amid the hectic music and cocktail talk
She hears the caustic ticking of the clock.
- Cinderella, Sylvia Plath.

Of silver as the rondo slows; now reels

Where guests slide gliding into light like wine;

Reflecting in a million flagons' shine,
And glided couples all in whirling trance
Follow holiday revel begun long since,
Until near twelve the strange girl all at once
Guilt-stricken halts, pales, clings to the prince
As amid the hectic music and cocktail talk

Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
