Seneca the Younger

Reputation is what people expect us to do next. It's their expectation of the quality and character of the next thing we produce or say or do.

Just go to Disneyland. You have the impact of how the Americans think, how they dream, what they desire, how they have a good time, what they prefer. I associate this with young people. But many times I think this infantile quality is much better than the false, incomplete concept of adulthood.

I saw that color in skin had a certain advantage in strength and warmth as a means of beauty.

I mean, Lady Gaga is trying to be a freak or whatever but that quality of being very meaningly and heartfelt, but also having a sense of humor about it, bands don't do that anymore.
