“Beauty is that Medusa's head which men go armed to seek and sever, and dead will starve and sting forever.”
“You only have to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she's not deadly. She's beautiful and she's laughing.”
“Beautiful men stay beautiful forever. That which is lovely remains so, preserved behind glass in one's mind.”
“Wouldn't the worst be, isn't the worst, in truth, that women aren't castrated, that they have only to stop listening to the Sirens (for the Sirens were men) for history to change its meaning? You only have to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she's not deadly. She's beautiful and she's laughing.”
“For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever...”
“The most beautiful adventures are not those we go to seek.”
