“Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. So simple. Youve got to catch it through details, like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rain spout in front of her house. The ringing of a telephone that sounds like Beethovens Pastoral. A letter scribbled on her office stationery that you carry around in your pocket because it smells of all the lilacs in Ohio.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“I dont like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isnt of much value. Life hasnt revealed its beauty to them.”
—Boris Pasternak (18901960)
