Quote by Борис Виан

“В игре Джонни Ходжеса было что-то возвышенное, необъяснимое и абсолютно чувственное. Чувственность, так сказать, в чистом виде, освобожденная от всего телесного. Под воздействием музыки все углы комнаты округлились. Колен и Хлоя лежали теперь в центре некоей сферы. -- Что это? -- спросила Хлоя. -- The Mood to be Wooed, -- ответил Колен. -- Я это почувствовала, -- сказала Хлоя. -- А как доктор войдет в комнату такой формы?”

I had discovered art, or truth, or whatever you want to call it; I had seen a light I'd follow forever.”

“We started to dance. Florence was remarkably good. She clung to me like jello to a moulding tin, following my lead as though we'd practiced the mambo at Arthur Murray's for ten years. When the music stopped we walked over to the stand. The leader smiled widely and hit three questioning chords on his guitar. 'Please play, "I Got It Bad—"' 'And that ain't good!' He finished for me. 'Play it.' I opened my wallet. The smallest I had was a ten-dollar bill. I gave it to him. 'Play it ten times.' 'Yes, sir!' He slammed his foot down and they went into it.”

“In order to live a fulfilling life, you must do as much (if not more) for yourself as you do for others. Sometimes we spend so much time caring for the next person we neglect to invest in ourselves. Remind yourself every day: Your needs, your aspirations, your success, and your goals also matter. It’s ok to be a shoulder, cheerleader, friend and support system; but remember, you deserve as good as you give.”
