Phyllis Diller // "We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up."
Charles Lindbergh (landing in Paris 1927) // "On a long flight, after periods of crisis and many hours of fatigue, mind and body may become disunited until at times they seem completely different elements, as though the body were only a home with which the mind has been associated but by no means bound."
Karl Lagerfeld // "I never touch sugar, cheese, bread...I'm beyond temptation. There is no weakness. When I see tons of food in the studio, for us and for everybody, for me it's as if this stuff was made out of plastic. The idea doesn't even enter my mind that a human being could put that into their mouth. I'm like the animals in the forest. They don't touch what they cannot eat."
Gerhard Richter // "I do not obey any intention, system or trend; I have no programme, style or pretension. I love uncertainty, infinity and permanent insecurity."
Rudolf Nureyev // "Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration."

Vidal Sassoon // "If I was going to be in hairdressing, I wanted to change things. I wanted to eliminate the superfluous and get down to the basic..."

Kurt Vonnegut // “I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.”
Thelonious Monk // "A genius is the one most like himself."
Niels Bohr // "No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical."
