Pharrell Williams // "I am overly ambitious because I realize it can be done."
Buckminster Fuller // "We must do away with the...notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact...that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery...so we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."
Mahatma Gandhi // "There is more to life than increasing its speed."
Paul Thomas Anderson // "I just get the sense that...around the world everybody's after the same thing...just some minor piece of happiness each day."
Janis Joplin // "As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you."
Claude Monet // "Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It's enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it."
Kiki Smith // "Just do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesn't, do your work anyway."
Barbra Streisand // "I go by instinct. I don't worry about experience."
George Harrison // "We're trying to impress ourselves in a way. That's why we keep trying to do things better... We never get satisfied."
Julio Cortázar // "Of all our feelings the only one which really doesn't belong to us is hope. Hope belongs to life...it's life itself defending itself."
Kanye West // "I always felt like I could do anything. That's the main thing people are controlled by...thoughts...their perception of themselves. They're slowed down by their perception of themselves. If you're taught you can't do anything, you won't do anything. I was taught I could do everything."
Edith Piaf // "I've always known that one day I would have my own niche... It was a feeling I had."
