• It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love.

He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.

  Joan Didion

  Love, Dream, Men

• To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.

  Joan Didion

  Love, Respect, Self

  Joan Didion (1968). “Slouching towards Bethlehem”
