“I revere the memory of Mr. F. as an estimable man and most indulgent husband, only necessary to mention Asparagus and it appeared or to hint at any little delicate thing to drink and it came like magic in a pint bottle; it was not ecstasy but it was comfort.”

“A little in drink, but at all times yr faithful husband.”

“Memory, of all the powers of the mind, is the most delicate and frail.”

“I Could Never Have Sex With Any Man Who Has So Little Regard For My Husband.”

“I loved Mr. Darcy far more than any of my own husbands.”

“Personally, I would forgo any other comfort to drink clean water.”

“When, about fifteen years ago, I walked into Arshile's studio for the first time, the atmosphere was so beautiful that I got a little dizzy and when I came to, I was bright enough to take the hint immediately.

“a woman's place is in the kitchen… sitting in a comfortable chair, with her feet up, drinking a glass of wine and watching her husband cook dinner.”

“And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,

Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I seek the empty world again?”

“We think of beauty as being most worthy of reverence. But what is most worthy of reverence lights up only where the magnificent strength to revere is alive. To revere is not a thing for the petty and lowly, the incapacitated and underdeveloped. It is a matter of tremendous passion; only what flows from such passion is in the grand style.”
