If I ever bore you, it'll be with a knife.





Louise Brooks:


1920s silent film starlet and author of my favorite quote:


"How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything --
spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking.
And I do not excuse myself with the
usual escape of 'not trying.' I tried with all my heart."
