Louise Brooks Quotes
For two extraordinary years I have been working on it - learning to write - but mostly learning how to tell the truth. At first it is quite impossible.

But in the end it is only the truth, no matter how ugly or shameful, that is right, that fits together, that makes real people, and strangely enough - beauty.
