So now you take this photo that has that amount of likes, and it has a flower wall from the same guy who does the Lanvin shows, and it has a couture Givenchy dress and Givenchy tuxedo in it. That's the point. Now the thing that is the most popular is also communicating the highest level of creativity. The concept of Kimye has more cultural significance than what Page Six could write.”
“He's loved of the distracted multitude, who like not in their judgement, but their eyes.”

“When it was proposed to me to go abroad, rub oft some rust, and better my condition in a worldly sense, I fear lest my life will lose some of its homeliness.

“Wealth can't buy heath, but heath can buy wealth.”
“One of the benefits of a college education is to show the boy its little avail.”
