"Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination."
— Christopher Isherwood

"His life has been lived, so far, within narrow limits and he is quite naïve about most kinds of experience; he fears it and yet is wildly eager for it. To reassure himself, he converts it into epic myth as fast as it happens. He is forever play-acting."
— Christopher Isherwood (Down There on a Visit)

"I am a camera, with its shutter open. Someday, all of this will be developed, printed, fixed."
