“It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love.

He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
