Jimi Hendrix // "I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes."
Nick Cave // "Who knows their own story? Certainly it makes no sense when we are living in the midst of it. It's all just clamor and confusion. It only becomes a story when we tell it and retell it. Our small precious recollections that we speak again and again to ourselves and to others...keeping the story from dissolving into darkness."
C.S. Lewis // "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
Arthur Conan Doyle // "A dog reflects the family life. Whoever saw a frisky dog in a gloomy family, or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs, dangerous people have dangerous ones."
Bruce Lee // "Choose the positive. You have a choice. You are the master of your attitude. Choose the positive, the constructive."
Marilyn Monroe // "It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
Stephen Hawking // "I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist. We will reach out to the stars."
Jean Dubuffet // "For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity."
Thom Yorke // "People sometimes say we take things too seriously, but it's the only way you'll get anywhere. We're not going to sit around and wait and just be happy if something turns up. We are ambitious. You have to be."
Sean Connery // "Some age, others mature."
Umberto Eco // "Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages...a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn't be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be...as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite..."
Babe Ruth // "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."
