Artists
"They are a race completely apart from all other human beings.
"Their emotions, all their feelings, their reactions are opposed to so-called "normal" people's sentiments. They are vulnerable and deeply sensitive people, due to their talents, their super-imagination, their knowledge of hidden influences of which we ordinary human beings are not. They are not as easy to live with - if you choose to live with them at all, if you have the luck to meet them at all.
"Writers, composers, painters - also artists like directors, and actors fall into the same category. They have to be handled with kid-gloves, mentally and physically. All their reactions go to extremes, compared to non-artistic human beings.
"As I was lucky enough to meet and love and work for many, many artists, I learned not without heartbreak and pain, to become a better, more intelligent, respectful and devoted person. No tears were wasted in the process. My tears - not theirs!"
~ Marlene Dietrich
"Will I find the one who, until my death will hold my hand,
Who will love me even when my old body will lie in a grave,
Who, until his own fall will give me the same love that I gave,
Who will put red roses on my tomb each day that God has made,
And who will replace each flower that will fade...
Dreams... dreams...Why can't you be real?
Each time that I love it's pain that I feel..."(Me)
