In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind. Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a treat. The more you love someone the more he wants from you and the less you have to give since you've already given him your love. We all live in suspense, from day to day, from hour to hour; in other words, we are the hero of our own story. Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. One reassuring thing about modern art is that things can't be as bad as they are painted. There is always something left to love. And if you ain't learned that, you ain't learned nothing. Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories. Why torture yourself when life will do it for you? Life is worth living, but only if we avoid the amusements of grown-up people. |
