She does show up in my sets of art gallery poems, accompanied by Norman Rockwell, for good reason, if only a fictional role.
Here are ten things she really said.
- “We are always the same age inside.”
- “Why should a sequence of words be anything but a pleasure?”
- “It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much, doing nothing, really doing nothing.”
- “The thing that differentiates man from animals is money.”
- “A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.”
- “Literature – creative literature – unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable.”
- “I always say that you cannot tell what a picture really is or what an object really is until you dust it every day and you cannot tell what a book is until you type it or proof-read it. It then does something to you that only reading it never can do.”
- “It is always a mistake to be plain-spoken.”
- “Money is always there but the pockets change.”
- “America is my country, and Paris is my home town.”
