Eckhart Tolle // "Prejudice of any kind...means you don't see the other human being anymore, but only your own concept of that human being. To reduce the aliveness of another human being to a concept is already a form of violence."
Diane von Furstenberg // "The girls who were unanimously beautiful often rested on their beauty alone. I felt I had to do things, to be intelligent and develop a personality in order to seem as attractive. By the time I realized maybe I wasn't plain and might even possibly be pretty, I had already trained myself to be a little more interesting and informed."
Werner Herzog // "I do not have a cellphone, for cultural reasons. I do not want to be available all the time. I prefer to have a conversation with no phones on, nobody under the table texting or answering a message. And I'm not into any social network. My social network is our dinner table, which seats maximum six people. My wife, me, and four guests maximum."
Andy Warhol // "I thought that young people had more problems than old people... Then I looked around and saw that everybody who looked young had young problems and that everybody who looked old had old problems. The "old" problems to me looked easier to take than the "young" problems. So I decided to go gray so nobody would know how old I was... I would gain a lot by going gray: (1) I would have old problems, which were easier to take than young problems, (2) everyone would be impressed by how young I looked, and (3) I would be relieved of the responsibility of acting young... So I dyed my hair gray when I was about twenty-three or twenty-four." ------------------------------------------------ Merry Christmas + Happy Holidays!
