My favorite time is now, like tonight, under a full moon. When a thousand crystals are sparkling at us. It's almost magical, isn’t it?

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.
