— Penelope Cruz

The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians. ↗

I'm not the sort of writer who can walk into a party and take a look around, see who's sleeping with whom and go home and write a novel about society. It's not the way I work. ↗

— E. L. Doctorow

I had become, with the approach of night, once more aware of loneliness and time - those two companions without whom no journey can yield us anything. ↗
