Our Hearts Were Young and Gay [With Headphones]
by Cornelia Otis Skinner, Emily Kimbrough, Celeste Lawson |
“Women keep a special corner of their hearts for sins they have never committed. ”
― Cornelia Otis Skinner

“There is no English equivalent for the French word flâneur. Cassell's dictionary defines flâneur as a stroller, saunterer, drifter but none of these terms seems quite accurate. There is no English equivalent for the term, just as there is no Anglo-Saxon counterpart of that essentially Gallic individual, the deliberately aimless pedestrian, unencumbered by any obligation or sense of urgency, who, being French and therefore frugal, wastes nothing, including his time which he spends with the leisurely discrimination of a gourmet, savoring the multiple flavors of his city.”
