I shall not sing a May song
a May song should be gay
I wait until November
and sing most terribly
I'll wait until November
that is the time for me
I'll walk out in the dark and cold
and sing most terribly
And all the little people
will smile at me and say
that is the crazy woman
who would not sing in May.

the sex life of a butterfly
"Did you ever read The Sex Life of a Butterfly by Favre?
- Favre was a naturalist. He got himself a very rare female butterfly from Africa, worth a thousand bucks. He kept it in a glass box in a department store in Paris. But nobody had ever been able to catch the male of the species. One day he let the female out of the box and in a few hours e had ten thousand dollars worth of rare butterflies flying around the room."
"Very interesting, very interesting indeed." - from I Wake Up Screaming by H. Bruce Humberstone

Weissglut
He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar he burst his hot heart's shell upon it. - Melville Moby Dick

Erich von Stroheim
"Lubitsch shows you first the king on the throne, then as he is in the bedroom. I show you the king in the bedroom so you'll know just what he is when you see him on his throne." - Stroheim
