Jorge Luis Borges // "If I could live my life again..I wouldn't try to be so perfect. I'd be more relaxed... I'd take fewer things seriously, I'd be less hygienic, I'd take more risks, I'd take more trips, I'd watch more sunsets... I'd eat more ice creams and less lima beans, I'd have more real problems and less imaginary ones... Of course I had moments of happiness but, if I could go back, I'd try to only have good moments. For if you didn't know, this is what life is made of...only moments...don't lose this one right now."
Josephine Baker // "To realize our dreams, we must wake up."
Jack Kerouac // "It always makes me proud to love the world somehow...hate's so easy compared."
Donald Sutherland // "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"
Anjelica Huston // "There are two levels of truth today. There’s the truth that goes on between people, and then there’s the realitytelevision truth. In those days, there was only one kind of truth—what you were and what you were trying to do in the world—as opposed to “presented truth.” It’s all extremes now—extremes of inhibition or total lack of inhibition. So now people don’t just cry in public, they roar. Or they don’t cry at all. I think it’s come down to a choice of showing nothing or showing everything. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground for who you really are anymore."
Agatha Christie // "To keep something wild is far more difficult than to preserve it."
Philippe Starck // "Look, I have designed so many things...all these years were necessary for me to ultimately recognize that we, after all, don't need anything... Society is pursuing a strategy of dematerialization: it is more and more about intelligence and less about material."
Hiroshi Sugimoto // "If I already have a vision, my work is almost done. The rest is a technical problem."
Shel Silverstein // "Draw a crazy picture, write a nutty poem, sing a mumble-gumble song, whistle through your comb. Do a loony-goony dance 'cross the kitchen floor, put something silly in the world that ain’t been there before."
Ian Fleming // "I make up my own mind... What's the good of other people's opinions? Animals don't consult each other... They look and sniff and feel. In love and hate, and everything in between, those are the only tests that matter. But people are unsure of their own instincts. They want reassurance."
Winona Ryder // Angelina Jolie
Tilda Swinton // "I'm missing the rule book that says that you have to feel limited...the idea of transformation is really intriguing to me. And the idea that people could think that they would never transform....none of that has ever made any sense to me at all."
