"I believe that love that is true and real, creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving or not loving well, which is the same thing. And then the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face, like some rhino-hunters I know or Belmonte, who is truly brave… It is because they make love with sufficient passion, to push death out of their minds… until it returns, as it does, to all men… and then you must make really good love again."
Woody Allen via Ernest Hemingway in Midnight in Paris

"Our wild nature does not lie in the gestures created by a culture that wants to turn women into the ultimate consumers by telling them constantly they are not thin enough, sexy enough, or desirable enough. Our wild nature lies in the incandescence of joyful experience of being a creature of nature. That we ARE nature. To recognize that we are un-owned, alive, and tremoring with the pulsations of life. Not some emulation of a perfected life with a frozen grin. We are blood and bone, fire and grit, saliva and sweat, encased around a pearl of such exquisite softness that it puts to shame those who look for the holy grail elsewhere."
