Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind” (1939)

"While Scarlett wasn't the most easy-going type, neither am I...I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things. I am a very impatient person and headstrong. If I've made up my mind to do something, I can't be persuaded out of it...When Scarlett wanted something from life, she schemed about how to get it. That was her trouble. I just plunge ahead without thinking. That's my trouble. Every so often I bump into stone walls and have to pick myself up and climb over them. Scarlett had a strong sense of property. I have not a little...She could take care of herself when she had to. I think I could, too...I went to school for a time in Germany. That meant being a girl I had to learn what every hausfrau should know, and hated it. That was one of the things that helped me make up my mind to become an actress...I hope I've one thing that Scarlett never had. A sense of humor. I want some joy out of life...And she had one thing I hope I never have. Selfish egotism...Scarlett was a fascinating person whatever she did, but she was never a good person. She was too petty, too self-centred...But one thing about her was admirable...Her courage. She had more than I'll ever have." —Vivien Leigh

my brain can't comprehend that there are people who don't listen to music every day, or at least often. what do you mean?? do you just walk somewhere and instead of listening to music... you think?

Paul van Riel - Sayoko Yamaguchi at Thierry Mugler A/W RTW 1983-84

 Each of us has suffered a primordial inner schism with the result that any given human self is only part of a once-intact greater self. Each of us is alienated from the world (man contra world) because each of us is alienated from himself, not just warring or in conflict: no: the parts of the self have become separated from each other and because of that, experience of world is partial, occluded, impaired, deformed. A partial self experiences a partial world, with the result that world is alien, irreal, hostile, strange, arousing perplexity and dread. Man does not understand world because he does not understand himself…
