[About the end of the The L Word] Everything has its cycle. I think it's appropriate for us to be ending now. But the beauty of storytelling, and the beauty of film and television is that it continues on.

Jennifer Beals

Henry Miller

The hand that rounded Peter's dome, And groined the aisles of Christian Rome, Wrought in a sad sincerity Himself from God he could not free He builded better than he knew The conscious stone to beauty grew.
