No penance serves to renew them, no massive transfusions of trust. Why not even revenge can undo them, so twisted these vows and so crushed Picture Quote #1

I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong, I will make it all up to thee Picture Quote #1

It was a dance of masks and every mask was perfect because every mask was a real face and every face was a real mask so there was no mask and there was no face for there was but one dance in which there was but one mask but one true face which was the same and which was a thing without a name which changed and changed into itself over and over Picture Quote #1

Well, you know, there’s depression and depression. What I mean by depression in my own case is that depression isn’t just the blues. It’s not just like I have a hangover in the weekend... the girl didn’t show up or something like that. It isn’t that. It’s not really depression, it’s a kind of mental violence which stops you from functioning properly from one moment to the next. You lose something somewhere and suddenly you’re gripped by a kind of angst of the heart and of the spirit Picture Quote #1

Do you need his beast for the bone? Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady? I know that you can make it, you can make it on your own Picture Quote #1

It was only when you walked away I saw you had the perfect ass. Forgive me for not falling in love with your face or your conversation Picture Quote #1

And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty Picture Quote #1

Please understand, I never had a secret chart to get me to the heart of this or any other matter. When he talks like this you don’t know what he’s after Picture Quote #1

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free Picture Quote #1

If you’re squeezed for information, that’s when you’ve got to play it dumb: You just say you’re out there waiting for the miracle to come Picture Quote #1

Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. there is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in Picture Quote #1

And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music Picture Quote #1

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind; and you know that you can trust her, for she’s touched your perfect body with her mind Picture Quote #1
