“I never thought about going up…I don't know, don't you think that must mean something?”

— Edie Sedgwick

Describing a dream to Chuck Wein
Edie : Girl On Fire (2006)
Context: It's like my having to walk down thousands and thousands of white marble stairs... and nothing but a very very blue sky, very blue, like... Yes, and I'd have to walk down them forever. I never thought about going up... I don't know, don't you think that must mean something? It never occurred to me to turn it around, I mean, why didn't I think that way? This was after I had the car accident.
