• Among all the modernized aspects of the most luxurious of industries, the model, a vestige of voluptuous barbarianism, is like some plunder-laden prey.

  Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

• I really like to have a coffee shop next door and be able to smoke a cigarette. I'm a city person; I regard nature as something hostile and problematic.

• [Attributing the origin of life to spontaneous generation.] However improbable we regard this event, it will almost certainly happen at least once.... The time... is of the order of two billion years.... Given so much time, the "impossible" becomes possible, the possible probable, and the probable virtually certain. One only has to wait: time itself performs the miracles.

That which is necessary, that which must be, means that which will be, whatever supposition we may make in regard to all other things.

• We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties.
