A quote from Mistress Matisse, I really like her. I am reading all of her early stuff. little by little catching up to now. Anyways, the quote is the absolute truth.

"Lots of people can be charming and attentive and make you feel special - for short spaces of time. I think I can do all right in that department myself on good days. But do that for hours and days on end - wow, that's impressive."
