Some summer Friday afternoon thoughts:
“I don’t understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.”
-Ava Gardner
“I’m one Hollywood star who hasn’t taken an overdose of sleeping pills. I haven’t been in jail, and I don’t go running to the psychiatrist every two minutes. That’s something of an accomplishment these days.”
-Ava Gardner
“You touch me and you won’t live ‘till morning.”

“When I lose my temper, honey, you can’t find it any place.”
-Ava Gardner
“Deep down, I’m pretty superficial.”
