Didion

Famous quotes containing the word didion:

    California is a place in which a boom mentality and a sense of Chekhovian loss meet in uneasy suspension; in which the mind is troubled by some buried but ineradicable suspicion that things had better work here, because here, beneath that immense bleached sky, is where we run out of continent.
    —Joan Didion (b. 1935)

    A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.
    —Joan Didion (b. 1934)

    Of course great hotels have always been social ideas, flawless mirrors to the particular societies they service.
    —Joan Didion (b. 1935)
