Black pearl Quote by V.S. Carnes
““He had always prided himself on his ability to bargain, to bluff, to contain his ever-aching heart within the folds of his robes where no one could see his pain and his shame. Unconsciously, he reached up and fisted the little black pearl in his fingers, searching for words, praying to the Almighty for the words that would let him have her. But they would not come. They were not needed, when the truth was in his eyes.””

![“[The huge success of Curse of the Black Pearl] made perfect sense to me on the one hand, and at the same time, it made no sense at all, which I kind of enjoyed. Even now, with the dolls and the cereal boxes and snacks and fruit juices, it all just feels fun to me, in a Warholian way. It's absurd…” quote by Johnny Depp](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1eb/johnny-depp-658_absurd_the-huge-success-of-curse-of-the-black-p_2967567.jpg)
