Joan Didion // "Memory fades, memory adjusts, memory conforms to what we think we remember."
Louis CK // "Everything is amazing right now and nobody’s happy. Like, in my lifetime the changes in the world have been incredible… Flying is the worst because people come back from flights and they tell you...a horror story...They’re like: “It was the worst day of my life. First of all, we didn’t board for twenty minutes, and then we get on the plane and they made us sit there on the runway...” Oh really, what happened next? Did you fly through the air incredibly, like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight you non-contributing zero?! You’re flying! It’s amazing! Everybody on every plane should just constantly be going: “Oh my God! Wow!” You’re flying! You’re sitting in a chair, in the sky!"

It is no accident that you are reading this. This moment has been waiting for you, I have been waiting for you. Remember me."
Thich Nhat Hanh // "Breathe. You are alive."

The power simply to go on, the power to endure...that is power enough. But I felt I had also the power to create, to add...to amaze and to transform."
Carolina Herrera // "In life, there should be a little mystery."
Salvador Dali // "But I very early realized, instinctively, my life formula: to get others to accept as natural the excesses of one's personality an thus to relieve oneself of his own anxieties by creating a sort of collective participation."
