Quotes
Dudley Digges, actor-impersonator, says: "Love is the atonement for the impossible beauty, if you get what I mean. Through love you realize what is unattainable, and leave it unattainable- through love you come to know what you cannot do, and what you can't be. Love is a form of creation everyone is capable of." (Cheyenne State Leader, ((Cheyenne, Wyo.)) 6 February 1921).
