from my notebooks

Delacroix: "One is never understood.
one is accepted."
*
Hegel: "Nobody understood me except one
and even he didn't understand me."
*
in Spain some bullfighters
are called "ballerinas."
reminds me of
W. C. Fields On Charlie Chaplin:
"The son of a xxxxx is a ballet dancer...."
*
Chekhov on ballerinas:
"They smell like horses."
*
i have never smelled a horse;
but i have smelled men and
the stench emanating from them
could kill a horse."
