Gloria Guinness - Writing

Writing

Guinness wrote frequently for Harper's Bazaar, most famously asserting, in the magazine's July, 1963, issue: "Elegance is in the brain as well as the body and in the soul. Jesus Christ is the only example we have of any one human having possessed all three at the same time." She also wrote an appreciation to the catalogue The World of Balenciaga held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1973.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:

    “That isn’t writing at all, it’s typing.”
    —Truman Capote (1924–1984)

    “Such writing is a sort of mental masturbation.... I don’t mean that he is indecent but viciously soliciting his own ideas into a state which is neither poetry nor anything else but a Bedlam vision produced by raw pork and opium.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “The big toad sits in my writing room
    preventing me from writing. I am a flower
    who dries out under her hot breath.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
