Drunk in Madrid Quotes

“Creative women, especially, have a shattering effect upon me. I envy them so. At the party yesterday, Mike introduced me to a very well-known actress whose work I have always admired. She was wearing a tortured beige dress and a pair of terrible earrings; yet when she spoke I heard a voice that said things I wanted to listen to, a smile that seemed unaware of its charm, but most of all an aliveness that sprang from I don't know where, and made me want to crawl into my Scaasi gown and not come out again until I had decided what I was going to be when I grew up.”
― Joyce Elbert, Drunk in Madrid
