You know I'm a sucker for B&W photography, but I'm also a sucker for everything

Otis Redding, "I've Been Loving You Too Long"

Critic Dave Marsh on Otis Redding: 

"I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)" sounds "as though each line is coming to him only the instant before he sings it, quavering notes as if in the grip of an undeniably exquisite passion that must be consummated--now!"

Elizabeth Taylor on Finding Her True Calling

"I'm finally happy, because I'm doing something that really needs to be done. I'm needed for things other than my skin and my hair and my history--all that silly baggage that people still carry around for me. I'm not saying that films are worthless, but they pale in comparison to sitting at the bedside of a lonely person who needs to be loved or comforted. It's far more rewarding to sit in a waiting room with a family waiting for help and results than it is to wait for the thirteenth take of a scene. You see, I got smart and useful in my old age. There's hope for us all." --Elizabeth Taylor on her AIDS activism/Interview with James Grissom/1991/

From "Elizabeth Taylor: The Complete Divinity."

Magnificent until the end. Cherished forever.
