To think of losing is to lose already.

It is best as one grows older to strip oneself of possessions, to shed oneself downward like a tree, to be almost wholly earth before one dies.

The fatal flaw of gravity; when you are down, everything falls down on you.

There's so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring. In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan.

Drunkenness, the ruin of reason, the destruction of strength, premature old age, momentary death.
