Henry James // "Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind."
Sofia Coppola // "It's weird being a grown-up. I think I'm just getting used to it."
Octavia E. Butler // "All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you."
Brigitte Bardot // "I used to try and make myself as pretty as I could...It was really hard to go out, to show myself. I was afraid of not coming up to people's expectations. Today...I don't give a damn anymore. I don't want to charm. Anything or anybody."

D.H. Lawrence // "I should feel the air move against me and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual – we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong."
W.H. Auden // "You owe it to all of us to get on with what you're good at."
