In the courtyard, jasmine sugared the air, great white sprays tumbling from the top of a wooden arbor at the side of the lawn. Huge goldfish swam slowly near the surface of the pool, listing their plump bodies backwards and forwards to court the afternoon sun. It was heavenly, but I didn't stick around; a distant band of trees was calling to me and I wove my way towards it, through the meadow dusted with buttercups, self-sown amid the long grass. Although it wasn't quite summer, the day was warm, the air dry, and by the time I reached the trees my hairline was laced with perspiration.
I spread the rug in a patch of dappled light and kicked off my shoes. Somewhere nearby a shallow brook chattered over stones and butterflies sailed the breeze. The blanket smelled reassuringly of laundry flakes and squashed leaves, and when I sat down the tall meadow grasses enclosed me so I felt utterly alone. ~ Kate Morton
Edie Burchill quotes by Kate Morton
It's sort of like a mockery, in a way of reality because they think everything is smiles and sweetness and flowers where there is something bitter to taste. And to pretend there isn't is foolish. I mean the ones that wander around and know, at the same time, and yet wear flowers, and they deserve to wear flowers. And they've earned their smile. You can tell by people's eyes. ~ Edie Sedgwick
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Sedgwick
Mind you, I've always been a very off-message type of fat broad; one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure, and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
I think drugs are like strawberries and peaches..There's no way to tell anyone who hasn't been through it, there's no way to explain it to anyone who hasn't tasted it . To keep that superlative high, just on the cusp of each day, so that I radiate sunshine ~ Edie Sedgwick
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Sedgwick
...the prose tradition had died two centuries before and the recreation of a full canon of all-purpose Scots was beyond even Scott's skill, nor did he attempt it, except, perhaps in the magnificent Wandering Willie's Tale. He took the only course open to him, of writing his narrative in English and using Scots only for those who, given their social class, would still be speaking it: daft Davie Gellatley in Waverley, the gypsies and Dandie Dinmont in Guy Mannering, the Headriggs in Old Mortality, Edie Ochiltree and the fisher-folk of Musselcrag in The Antiquary, Andrew Fairservice in Rob Roy, the Deanses in The Heart of Midlothian, Meg Dods in St. Ronan's Well, and so on.

The procedure gave reality to the Scots characters whose ways and ethos it was Scott's main purpose to portray, and the author in his best English, which lumbered along rather badly at times, did little more than lay out the setting for the action and act as impressario for the characters as they played their roles...

...Scott's felicity in conveying character and action through their Scots speech inspired his imitators for the next hundred years - Susan Ferrier, Hogg, Macdonald, Stevenson, Barrie, Crockett, Alexander, George Douglas, and John Buchan. The tradition of narrative in standard English and dialogue in various degrees of dialect has been the usual procedure since. ~ David Murison
Edie Burchill quotes by David Murison
Sometimes, Edie, a person's feelings aren't rational. At least, they don't seem that way on the surface. You have to dig a little deeper to understand what lies at the base ~ Kate Morton
Edie Burchill quotes by Kate Morton
Her hands clutched at his upper arms.
"Y-you make me feel ... "
He glanced up at her, saw the way she was biting her lower lip and the tortured frown between her closed eyes. "What do I make you feel, honey?" he prompted in a low voice, unable to look away from her beautiful face, and he rubbed the heel of his palm against the hard bud of her clitoris.
Her body went wire taut, arching like a hunter's bow as she gasped for him.
"Unbalanced. ~ Edie Harris
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Harris
He said only farmers and school children really appreciated the beauty of a snow day. ~ Elise Forier Edie
Edie Burchill quotes by Elise Forier Edie
Annie stared into the flames for a while and then cleared her throat. "Has it occurred to you that maybe there's actually a monster out there?" she asked. ~ Elise Forier Edie
Edie Burchill quotes by Elise Forier Edie
My second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my 'Top Ten' friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
I love Tike Alicar, The Anarchist. But I love Edie Sawyer, U-Go Girl, too. I was a little in love with her. ~ Peter Milligan
Edie Burchill quotes by Peter Milligan
I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate. My life has changed so dramatically over the last number of years, especially having a family now. My priorities have shifted. ~ Edie Falco
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Falco
When I look at my kids, and the ease with which they pick up music, I wish I had that. ~ Edie Brickell
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Brickell
Sara Creasy is a new writer to watch, and Song of Scarabaeus is a novel to read and enjoy ... The biological speculation rings with truth and possibility, the terraforming-gone-wrong creates an environment of delicious creepiness, and Creasy's imaginatively-constructed universe draws the reader in, to follow Edie and Finn's quest for freedom. ~ Vonda N. McIntyre
Edie Burchill quotes by Vonda N. McIntyre
Fetter Lane,' read Edie.
"Fetters are chains. Like handcuffs, On your legs," said George.
"I know," she said. "They don't go in for cheerful, do they, these City people naming their streets? I even saw a Bleeding Heart Yard once. Had a horrible atmosphere. I didn't touch anything and got out as fast as I could. ~ Charlie Fletcher
Edie Burchill quotes by Charlie Fletcher
It's received wisdom that the English are uniquely child-unfriendly. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
Religion is a smile on a dog. ~ Edie Brickell
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Brickell
There is no question that sobriety has made me a better actor, made me a better person. ~ Edie Falco
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Falco
Women, more often than not, do things which aren't remotely relaxing but are all about preening, which is just another sort of work. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
My favorite film involving scarves was little Edie in 'Grey Gardens.' I often wear scarves like that, under hats. ~ Estelle
Edie Burchill quotes by Estelle
There's really nothing better than a hunt ball. ~ Edie Campbell
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Campbell
It's very hard to imagine the phrase 'consumer society' used so cheerfully, and interpreted so enthusiastically, in England. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
John Hughes loved improvisers. ~ Edie McClurg
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie McClurg
I'm so fucking in love with you, Edie Van Der Zee, I don't know where I end and where you begin anymore. I love you despite knowing that it is crazy. That our situations are disastrous. I love you knowing that you should have at least a few more experiences before you find the love. ~ L.J. Shen
Edie Burchill quotes by L.J. Shen
In the year 2000 you're going to have a problem ... Leisure time will be a problem in the year 2000. I just want you to realize, I just want to make sure that you know of it now. ~ Edie Sedgwick
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Sedgwick
While I was girl of the year and superstar and all that crap, everything I did was really ... motivated by psychological disturbance. ~ Edie Sedgwick
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Sedgwick
Edie Sedgwick (1943-1971)

I don't know how she did it. Fire
She was shaking all over. It took
her hours to put her make-up on.
But she did it. Even the false eye-lashes.
She ordered gin with triple
limes. Then a limosine. Everyone
knew she was the real heroine of
Blonde on Blonde.
oh it isn't fair
oh it isn't fair
how her ermine hair
turned men around
she was white on white
so blonde on blonde
and her long long legs
how I used to beg
to dance with her
but I never had
a chance with her
oh it isn't fair
how her ermine hair
used to swing so nice
used to cut the air
how all the men
used to dance with her
I never got a chance with her
though I really asked her
down deep
where you do
really dream
in the mind
reading love
I'd get
inside
her move
and we'd
turn around
and she'd
turn around
and turn the head
of everyone in town
her shaking shaking
glittering bones
second blonde child
after brian jones
oh it isn't fair

how I dreamed of her
and she slept
and she slept
forever
and I'll never dance
with her no never
she broke down
like a baby
like a baby girl
like a lady
with ermine hair
oh it isn't fair
and I'd like to see
her rise again
her white white bones
with baby bri ~ Patti Smith
Edie Burchill quotes by Patti Smith
Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
It's hard to notice things without people noticing me and that takes some getting used to. ~ Edie Falco
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Falco
You were the first boy I ever kissed. Is that right?"
"I would hope so," he said, his mouth soft as he smiled. "You were ten years old."
I laughed but I felt tears building in my throat and burning my eyes. "You kissed me in the orchard. I dared you to do it." A memory flicked by, the orchard in bloom, heavenly scents, the thrum of bees in the blossoms.
"I wanted to, I promise ---" his laughing face, so close to mine. ~ Elise Forier Edie
Edie Burchill quotes by Elise Forier Edie
The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it; most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
Don: You know what makes this alright? We took every moment and wrung it out for all it was worth. Every second, every touch. Every share. My life would've been worthless without you, Edie. If I hadn't met you, it wouldn't've been worth being here. You're the greatest woman ever walked God's earth. No word of a lie. ~ Chris Chibnall
Edie Burchill quotes by Chris Chibnall
These women whose antics we smirk at good-naturedly in the pap-traps put themselves out there at least partly on their beauty; they are in showbiz, and showing what they've got is part of their business as much as it is for male show-ponies from the Chippendales to George Clooney. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
I've never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest. ~ Edie Falco
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Falco
There is nothing truly painful about this, except the knowledge that, eventually, you'll stop touching me. That's what hurts. Moira. ~ Edie Harris
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Harris
It must be said that Brighton, unlike London, makes driving seem very appealing. Instead of glowering faces and angry horns on all sides, we have the coast road in front of us and the Sussex Downs just 10 minutes behind us. ~ Julie Burchill
Edie Burchill quotes by Julie Burchill
I was a young kid from Long Island who wanted to do something large with her life, so I can relate to that. ~ Edie Falco
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Falco
I'm afraid of habit patterns It would be too much of a routine if you had to establish definite ways of getting through things. You'd get very bored. ~ Edie Sedgwick
Edie Burchill quotes by Edie Sedgwick
Is it harder having kids and working? It definitely is, but the payoff is you get to go home to your kids, and it all balances out. And I know I'm a better mother when I'm engaged in something outside of the house. ~ Edie Falco
