A month later they arrived at Freetown where they chartered a small sailing vessel, the Fuwalda, which was to bear them to their final destination. And here John, Lord Greystoke, and Lady Alice, his wife, vanished from the eyes and from the knowledge of men. View quote

Alice Toklas' father had almost once had an oil well they dug and dug but naturally the oil did not gush, naturally not these things never do happen to any one one knows, if it could happen to them you would not be very likely to know them most naturally not. (Gertrude Stein)
I was clear, Alice Toklas says and very often mistaken but anyway I am clear I am a good American, I am slow-minded and quickly clear in expression, I am certain that I see everything that is seen and in between I stand around but I do not wait, no American can wait he can stand around and do nothing but he cannot wait, that is why he is not like Milton who served by standing and waiting, Americans can neither serve nor wait, they can stand and sit down and get up and walk around but they can neither serve nor wait.

Something traumatic happened to me when I was younger. I was with this old black woman, and she was very wise, very Alice Walker, The Color Purple...she looked at me and she says, "Baby...you know I used to be able to fly but I can't fly no more, baby. But baby, you...? You too fat to fly." View quote

I do love Alice in Wonderland though, that's something I think I could do very well. Don't you think we ought to do an A.W.? A.W.'s Alice in Wonderland? Andy Warhol's Alice in Wonderland? A.W. stands for a lot of things, I understand. It, uh, it would make a fantastic film. So I wanted somebody to write the script for it, in a modern sense. I think it would be the most marvelous movie in the world, if it could be done. Don't you think? Really, I don't think they've done one since they did a Walt Disney one - which isn't really doing it. In a sense it is, but not in the way it really should be done. What's needed right now is a real scene. I mean not just cartoon characters, but the actual character of people because there's so many fantastic people that you might as well use the people. View quote
Edie Sedgwick
More: I am faint when I think of the worst that they may do to me. But worse than that would be to go without you not understanding why I go. Alice: I don't! More: Alice, if you can tell me that you understand, I think I can make a good death, if I have to. Alice: Your death's no "good" to me! More: Alice, you must tell me that you understand! Alice: I don't! I don't believe this had to happen. More: If you say that, Alice, I don't know how I'm to face it. Alice: It's the truth! More: You're an honest woman. Alice: Much good it may do me! I'll tell you what I'm afraid of: that when you're gone, I shall hate you for it. View quote

Margaret: Haven't you done as much as God can reasonably want? More: Well... finally... it isn't a matter of reason; finally it's a matter of love. Alice: You're content, then, to be shut up here with mice and rats when you might be home with us! More: Content? If they'd open a crack that wide I'd be through it. Well, has Eve run out of apples? Margaret: I've not yet told you what the house is like, without you. More: Don't, Meg. Margaret: What we do in the evenings, now that you're not there. More: Meg, have done! Margaret: We sit in the dark because we've no candles. And we've no talk because we're wondering what they're doing to you here. More: The King's more merciful than you. He doesn't use the rack. (Robert Bolt)
I've lost a lot of young, brilliant friends. Andy Wood and Layne [Staley] and Jeff Buckley, who was a good friend, and Kurt [Cobain], and Shannon Hoon [of Blind Melon] was a friend, and Mike Starr [Alice In Chains] was a friend, the list can kind of go on if I sit here and try and remember. And they're all young and these guys all had limitless potential in their lives in front of them. And I think there's something so inspiring about that – that is like the miracle of youth. And to see that be the final chapter so young is a really hard thing to swallow every time. View quote

Alice Cooper
I like the sun, Alice and doves, a good cigar, a spanish guitar, jumping walls and opening windows and when a woman cries. I like wine as much as flowers and rabbits but not tractors, homemade bread and Dolores' voice and the sea wetting my feet. I like to always be lying on the sand or chasing Manuela on a bicycle or all the time to see the stars with Maria in the hayfield. I'm not from here, I'm not from there, I have no age, nor future, and being happy is my color of identity. View quote
