Nikola Tesla // "Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born."
Pablo Picasso // "When I was a child my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll be the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."

Chloe Sevigny // "I wish I had focused on school more. I was really not into academics. That was part of how I rebelled...I think that if I had stuck with it...I probably would be a more confident person now. Which is a boring kind of thing your mother would say to you! But it's honest."
