John   Waters
“My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior -- BEFORE the Reformation.”
John Waters

Laura Lippman
“...Baltimore. It's imperfect. Boy, is it imperfect. And there are parts of its past that make you wince. It's not all marble steps and waitresses calling you 'hon,' you know. Racial strife in the sixties, the riots during the Civil War. F. Scott Fitzgerald said it was civilized and gay, rotted and polite. The terms are slightly anachronistic now, but I think he was essentially right.”
Laura Lippman, Hardly Knew Her
