I got back into the position of taking care of my husband, which is what I’d learned that I couldn’t really do: you can love and make things okay to a certain extent, but you can’t fix. I didn’t quite learn that until the kayaking incident. It became so clear then. – Mariel Hemingway
I was completely crazy and mad when I was young. I was absolutely in love with the dissolute. – John Hurt
