Thirty souls at the least, Phryne, are still on that island to praise God who might now be angels-or devils. ~Kerry Greenwood

#quotes #tom-robbins #critic #writing

I think I might like to try film again just as an experiment, but I know that I could never do the mainstream thing again. ~Mara Wilson
