Quote by Dominick Dunne

“I'm sick, sick, sick to death of reading about the Mitford sisters." "Have you read INSPIRED BY IAGO?" "HEAVENS ! no!" "It's not what you think ... it opens in a trailer park ..." "Right AWAY you've lost me. A little 'trailer park' goes a long way with me." "What do you like?" asked Arthur Harburg, patiently. He was used to dealing with his spoiled clients. "I like a book with short chapters," said Matilda. "I love to be able to say, 'I just want to finish this chapter,' and do it. SUCH a feeling of accomplishment." ~Dominick Dunne, PEOPLE LIKE US”

“The fact that....you categorize everything as either sexist, or racist, or homophobic, whether it is or not, and therefore harmful to you and you just can't take it, is a kind of mania, a delusion, a psychosis that we have been coddling, encouraging people to think that life should be a smooth utopia built only for them and their fragile sensibility.”
