Allen Ginsberg // "Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself... You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening."

David Bowie // "I suspect that dreams are an integral part of existence, with far more use for us than we've made of them... The fine line between the dream state and reality is at times, for me, quite grey."

Edie Sedgwick // "I think something very weird's going on now, 'cause the power that is permitted to youth is quite extraordinary."

Louis C.K. // "I read something in the paper that really confused me the other day. It said that 80 percent of the people in New York are minorities... Shouldn't you not call them minorities when they get to be 80 percent of the population? That's a very white attitude, don't you think? I mean, you could take a white guy to Africa and he'll be like, 'Look at all the minorities around here! I'm the only majority.'"

Arthur Ashe // "You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy."

Alexander McQueen // "I don't like being surrounded by people who always say yes. I think that creativity grows out from conflict."

Luis Buñuel // “Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination...the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.”

Kahlil Gibran // "They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price."

Chuck Palahniuk // "Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It's all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary."

Mick Jagger // "I don't think of any of those things...meaningless typecasts. Do you wake up in the morning and think: 'I'm such and such?' You just are you."

Walt Whitman // "I exist as I am, that is enough."

Jerry Seinfeld // "We're craving the nondigital even more these days, the authentically human interaction."

Anais Nin // "Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for center. So we lost our center and have to find it again."

Steve McQueen // "I live for myself and I answer to nobody."

Alan Alda // "The difference between listening and pretending to listen, I discovered, is enormous... Real listening is a willingness to let the other person change you."

Alejandro Jodorowsky // "We have limits. Our family, our society, our culture gives us limits. And then the...work is to open up the limits more and more, to understand more and more, to feel more and more, to desire more and more, to do more and more."

Hunter S. Thompson // "They say that he who flies highest, falls farthest... But we can't forget that he who doesn't flap his wings, never flies at all."

Amelia Earhart // "Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn't be done."

Galileo Galilei // "You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him to find it within himself."

Tallulah Bankhead // "Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it."

Bob Dylan // "You don't need my autograph. If you needed it, I'd give it to you."

Bruce Lee // "When one has reached maturity...one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving into water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style."

J.K. Rowling // "Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy."

Katharine Hepburn // "Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around."
