Margot Fonteyn // "Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike."
Andy Warhol // Pope John Paul II
Mark Twain // "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
Lee Clow // "Just because it's all been done, doesn't mean it's all been done well."
Bill Cunningham // "A lot of people have taste, but they don't have the daring to be creative."
William S. Burroughs // "Nothing is more provocative than minding your own business."
Benedict Cumberbatch // "I think...with what's possible with artificial intelligence...creating something beyond the human...there is beauty in that. I mean, we can formulate and explain things in scientific terms but it doesn't take any of the magic away...revealing the work or the mechanism behind the beauty doesn't destroy the beauty. I imagine that anyone who...is a practitioner of high logic through science or mathematics can say that truth is beauty..."
Theodor Geisel // “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
David Hockney // "If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do...he's really needed."
Charlie Chaplin // "I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible...We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery...but we have lost the way...We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind...More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness."
Isabella Blow // "I'm a walking billboard. That's my pleasure."
Alan Turing // "We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done."
