This looks so "Old Hollywood" star! The way people idolised actors back then. Women would have been absolutely ruined for Henry. Can you even imagine?

“There are such things as ghosts. People everywhere have always known that. And we believe in them every bit as much as Homer did. Only now, we call them by different names. Memory. The unconscious.”

“The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.” - Agatha Christie, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Agatha Christie is one of the greatest storytellers of all time and the queen of writing cosy crime. There is nothing better than unwinding with a relaxing Poirot mystery!

“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.” - Oscar Wilde 🕯🤍

♟ “She liked the power of the pieces, exerted along files and diagonals. In the middle of the game, when pieces were everywhere, the forces crisscrossing the board thrilled her. She brought out her king’s knight, feeling its power spread.” ♟ - The Queen’s Gambit, Walter Tevis.

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemlance.” - Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
