Μετά την τεράστια επιτυχία του νέου documentary series του Netflix “Pretend It’s a City” σε σκηνοθεσία του Μάρτιν Σκορτσέζε, η Φραν Λίμποβιτς γίνεται viral ξανά μέσα από την ματιά του διάσημου σκηνοθέτη και αποτυπώνει την δική της Νέα Υόρκη με ένα απόλυτα καυστικό και to the point τρόπο.

H νεοϋορκέζικη κουλτούρα έγινε η ανάσα και η πνοή της πιο γνωστής και εμβληματικής μορφής σχεδόν όλης της Αμερικής, που εδώ και 5 δεκαετίες καταγράφει τον παλμό του Manhattan με τον δικό της πνευματώδες τρόπο.

Η Φραν Λίμποβιτς γεννήθηκε το 1950 στο New Jersey της Αμερικής και μόλις σε ηλικία 19 ετών μετακόμισε στην Νέα Υόρκη.

Ξεκίνησε για την μεγαλούπολη γεμάτη όνειρα και μεγάλες προσδοκίες, συνεργάστηκε με τον Andy Warhol και το περιοδικό Interview, εργάστηκε σε μερικά από τα μεγαλύτερα Life style περιοδικά της Αμερικής ενώ έκανε πραγματικότητα το επι χρόνια συγγραφικό της έργο με δοκίμια και τίτλο Metropolitan Life. Έγινε η μούσα του Σκορτσέζε και αγαπήθηκε για την καυστικότητα αλλά και στο στιλ της.

Οι ατάκες της από public ομιλίες της, από τα άρθρα της και το βιβλίο τους κάνουν τον γύρω του κόσμου σαν τα πιο inspiring quotes και εμείς ξεχωρίσαμε τα αγαπημένα μας άκρως επηρεασμένοι από την σειρά.

– “You’re only as good as your last haircut”.

-“Think before you speak. Read before you think.”

– “A book is not supposed to be a mirror. It’s supposed to be a door.”

-“There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness and death.”

-“Life is something that happens when you can’t get to sleep.”

-“I love sleep because it is both pleasant and safe to use. Pleasant because one is in the best possible company and safe because sleep is the consummate protection against the unseemliness that is the invariable consequence of being awake. What you don’t know won’t hurt you. Sleep is death without the responsibility.”

-“Romantic love is mental illness. But it’s a pleasurable one. It’s a drug. It distorts reality, and that’s the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw. ”

-“When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough.”

-“The opposite of talking isn’t listening. The opposite of talking is waiting.”

-“Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.”

-“To lose yourself in a book is the desire of the bookworm. I mean to be taken. That is my desire.”

-“If your sexual fantasies were truly of interest to others, they would no longer be fantasies.”

-“Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word ”collectible” as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.”

-“Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.”

-“Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.”

-“You can’t go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.”
