Ghost

I was still refusing to grow up, to face the oppressive fact that I should long have since become a responsible, mature adult. I continued to seek people and things I could lean on, to escape the need for making my own decisions and assuming responsibility for my own acts.

Mary Astor, in her autobiography

Palin for President. ♥

“You know, the president is now telling us that we’re not thinking straight because of all the fear and frustration,” Palin said. “You know Mr. President, you have it right on one point there. We are afraid, knowing that your economic policies are driving us off a cliff.”

Greta Garbo.  ♥  I loved her and John Barrymore together.

She sat tonight revolving, as she was wont, the scenes of the day, her lips often curling with amusement at the oddities to which her fancy added fresh drollery: people were so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fools’ caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else’s were transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone were rosy.

Middlemarch, by George Eliot.
She sat among the flowers, dreaming of the day when she would be free.
