You gotta love livin baby, cause dyin is a pain in the ass
Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it a prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels. - Frank Sinatra
A man's game
I'd studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded. I wasn't worried about getting a job on Broadway. In fact, I got one the first week.- Gene Kelly
C'est Si Bon
"It's all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit."Eartha Kitt rides a bike down the street in New York City. Photographer Gordon Parks shot this for LIFE Magazine in July, 1952.
Lady of the Night
Well, I'll say I have an incredible ability to
fantasize - I really do. I don't have to have things tangible to be able
to see them, and therefore I enjoy so many things, because they're in
my mind.
- Donna Summer
In the end, everything is a gag.
“I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.”
Take This Heart of Mine
- Marvin Gaye
It's marvellous, marvellous!
- Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Fashions fade, style is eternal.
I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
- Yves Saint Laurent
I Ka Nyi' Tan' - Now don't move
Bicycles, mopeds, cars, the props went from small to medium to large. Vespas were average but a car was luxury. And it didn't just stop at one he had lots, so people thought he was well-off and for the time he was.
- Lancina Keita, brother of Seydou Keita
I do not seek. I find.
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Dogs never bite. Just humans.
- Marilyn Monroe
You will never be perfect
"He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you."- Bob Marley
You were such a babe!
"...the moment I wake up, before I put on my make up, I say a little prayer for you.."
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
“I didn’t
ask Jimi to smile, he just naturally was quite smiley, and we laughed
quite a lot at the session. That was the first session in ’67, and
funnily enough most young men in music, young musicians, want to look
mean, moody and sexy.”

I don't think when I make love
"Although she had a gift for infidelity, she always suffered if she had an affair with more than one man at a time"
Ex-husband Roger Vadim on Brigitte Bardot
I am a bird now
I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved.
They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center
of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.
I'm afraid of you? Are you cracked?
Motorcycles, rebellion, and the open road wouldn’t be the same without Marlon Brando’s “The Wild One” (1953).
"It begins here for me on this road. How the whole mess happened I don't
know, but I know it couldn't happen again in a million years. Maybe I
could of stopped it early, but once the trouble was on its way, I was
just goin' with it. Mostly I remember the girl. I can't explain it - a
sad chick like that, but somethin' changed in me. She got to me, but
that's later anyway. This is where it begins for me right on this road."
Aesthetic Experience
I am desperate and vulnerable. I am always terrified. Beauty can sometimes be so very troublesome.
The body never lies
I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer's body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being.- Martha Graham
