Laura Moriarty Quotes

I always found Louise Brooks interesting. She was an icon of the silent - film era, and I knew she’d grown up in Kansas, and that she was smart and rebellious and sharp - tongued Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t that familiar with silent films. I didn’t know, for example, how hugely popular silent films were in the 1920s, how people would go to the movies several times a week Picture Quote #1

Yes, Louise Brooks was beautiful and intelligent, and she could be very funny, but obviously there was a deep insecurity there, a real destructive rage and immaturity Picture Quote #1

Someone needs to give the Pope thirteen babies. Just for a week or so. See how he likes no birth control then Picture Quote #1

While I was writing the book, I went to see Louise Brooks’s most famous film, Pandora’s Box, at the Tivoli in Kansas City, and it was a lovely experience. You can watch old silent films on DVD or even on YouTube, but it was a different feeling watching her up on the big screen, seeing the film the way people saw it all those years ago Picture Quote #1

It’s like swimming, underwater, this whole year. I just close my eyes. hold my breath, and keep kicking Picture Quote #1

One way to remain unfinished is to stop. the other is to go on Picture Quote #1

This is how it is now. This is my life Picture Quote #1

Worrying was painful... but compared to the alternative, a privilege Picture Quote #1

Shooting stars are not really stars at all but meteorites, burning their way through our atmosphere, sometimes landing in the oceans and in the middle of farms... you could make wishes on them if you like, but they are really just pieces of rock falling down from the sky, and they could land on your head and kill you just as you look up to make a wish. Really, they’re just rocks. They don’t care about your wishes at all Picture Quote #1

You could push people away, past their limits, even accidentally, and then it was just too late to get them back Picture Quote #1

I know that sometimes when you are really worried about something, it ends up not being nearly as bad as you think it will be, and you get to be relieved that you were just being silly, worrying so much over nothing. But sometimes it is just the opposite. It can happen that whatever you are worried about will be even worse than you could have possibly imagined, and you find that you were right to be worried, and even that, maybe, you weren’t worried enough Picture Quote #1

The young can exasperate, of course, and frighten, and condescend, and insult, and cut you with their still unrounded edges. But they can also drag you, as you protest and scold and try to pull away, right up to the window of the future, and even push you through Picture Quote #1

This life is mine because of good luck. And because I reached out and took it Picture Quote #1
