Their thin browns, ashy grays, and muted blues made people speak softly to one another, as if a shouted word might curdle one of the paintings and ruin it. Bottles, carafes, and ceramic whatnots sat in his paintings like small animals huddling for warmth, and these shy pictures could easily hang next to a Picasso or Matisse without feeling inferior. ↗


— Steve Martin

And I hope she’ll be a fool — that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. ↗


— F. Scott Fitzgerald
