It’s just beautiful to me.”– Diane Kruger “Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation – what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.”– William Lyon Phelps “I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that, but I don’t think I would ever be a very good pop star.
