—Lester Bangs (1948–1982)
“Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.”
—Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949)
“Women who are devoted to causes, such as overpopulation and the underprivileged [sic], are much less interested in fashion than, let’s say, those who lunch at La Grenouille and Le Cirque.”
—Ann Landers (b. 1918)
