Robert De Niro // "On every street in every city, there's a nobody who dreams of being a somebody."
Ted Hughes // "And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart... Nothing else really counts at all."
Hunter S. Thompson // "To be or not to be: that is the question...whether to float with the tide or swim for a goal. It is a choice we must all make consciously or unconsciously at one time in our lives... Think of any decision you’ve ever made which had a bearing on your future: I may be wrong, but I don’t see how it could have been anything but a choice however indirect — between the two things I’ve mentioned: the floating or the swimming."
Stephen Hawking // "Remember to look up and the stars and not down at your feet... Be curious."
Sarah Bernhardt // "My somewhat fantastic tastes...my peculiar way of dressing, my scorn of fashion, my general freedom in all respects, made me a being quite apart from all others."
T.S. Eliot // "Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel."
Agnes Varda // "I’m interested in people who are not exactly the middle way, or who are trying something else because they cannot prevent themselves from being different, or they wish to be different, or they are different because society pushed them away...I think people should be different."
Noël Coward // "My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with...I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself."
Samuel Beckett // "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
Will Smith // "Don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can't do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period."
Margaret Mead // "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Michael Jordan // "To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate."
