Mostly quotations. Curated by Semi since back when my VCR (yes) was blinking twelve.

Hemingway, letter to Janet Flanner 1933
The only way, I suppose, is to find out what women are going to write memoirs, and try to get them with child.

Robert Herrick, "Delight in Disorder"
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness;
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction;
An erring lace which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher;
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly;
A winning wave (deserving note)
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility;
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.
