Sterling Morrison of The Velvet Underground, as quoted in Edie : Girl On Fire (2006) by David Weisman and Melissa Painter
“
When we were riding in the limousine, after Edie had just come out of Capezio, and had just bought brand new shoes, she was carrying on about how she loved the shoes. Had spent a lot of money on them. And after taking a second look at them, she decided she didn't like them, rolled down the window and threw them out. That's the essential Edie. Not a happy person.
