Debbie Harry // "My biggest dream as a kid was to carve out a niche for myself in some interesting, creative way... I never allowed life to become boring."
Audrey Hepburn // "If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all."
Paul Newman // "From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being...by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant."
John Ford // "You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart."
Alber Elbaz // "You know, it's not about screaming, it's about whispering. When you scream everybody hears, but not everybody listens. When you whisper maybe not too many people can hear you, but it goes deeper."
Ai Weiwei // "Freedom is a pretty strange thing. Once you've experienced it, it remains in your heart, and no one can take it away. Then, as an individual, you can be more powerful than a whole country."
Amelia Earhart // "Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you."
Bill Nye // "I often reflect on what an extraordinary time it is to be alive... It took life billions of years to get to this point. It took humans thousands of years to piece together a meaningful understanding of our cosmos, our planet and ourselves. Think how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that's yet to be discovered. Here's hoping the deep answers to the deep questions—from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life—will be found in not too much more time."
Rem Koolhaas // "I consider myself somebody with an unlimited amount of curiosity in an almost unlimited amount of directions."
Lou Reed // "You either make an effort, or you don't."
Patti Smith // "Make your interactions with people transformational, not just transactional."
Matt Damon // "Some people get into this business and they're so afraid to lose anything. They try to protect their position...making really safe choices. I never wanted to go that route. If I go down, I'm going down swinging."
