Au revoir, pidgeon. Sweeting is such part sorrow.
Au revoir, jewelled alligators and white hotels, hallucinatory forests, farewell.

One of the great weaknesses of the progressive, as distinct from the religious, mind, is that it has no awareness of truth as such; only of truth in terms of enlightened expediency. The contrast is well exemplified in two exact contemporaries - Simone Weil and Simone de Beauvoir; both highly intelligent and earnestly disposed.

I love Simone Rocha. I just think she's really clever.
The only way to fight a thing like 50 is to stay au courant if it kills you.
I think comparisons are very on the surface. If I sing, like, 'Park Bench People,' and there's kind of a social undertone, people will say I sound like Gil Scott-Heron. But for me, the more insightful comparison would be a Roberta Flack or Nina Simone - people who really mix different genres of music.
When I was 17, a neighbour I knew well died of cancer, and I became au pair to her three little girls.
