“It is only man's egoism which wants to keep woman like some buried treasure. All endeavors to introduce permanence in love, the most changeable thing in this changeable human existence, have gone shipwreck in spite of religious ceremonies, vows, and legalities.”
― Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs

“The moral of the tale is this: whoever allows himself to be whipped, deserves to be whipped.”
― Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Venus in Furs

“People are so caught up in trying to force their own world onto everybody else’s that they don’t even get the fact that the other person doesn’t care.”
― Jacqueline Woodson, From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun

― Frank Conniff, Twenty Five Mystery Science Theater 3000 Films That Changed My Life In No Way Whatsoever

“Ed Wood may not have had the talent of an artist, he may not have had the skills of an artist, but he had the soul of an artist.”
