Известные цитаты и высказывания со словом fascinating.

I had a little epiphany when I was a writer at ‘Chicago’ magazine. I sat down to dinner at the Ritz-Carlton. Somebody poured a white dessert wine with chocolate cake.

I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I grew up in a very Jewish neighbourhood and thought the whole world was like that.
