"There's almost nothing worse to live with..." - Quote by John Updike

“Movies are, like sharp sunlight, merciless; we do not imagine, we view.”

“I feel old only when I look at my hands or at myself in the mirror.”

“Life, just as we first thought, is playing grownup.”

“There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.”

“The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musican, the architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce.”

“Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.”

“The main reason women are crazy, is that men are stupid.”

“A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
