Coco Chanel // "How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone."
Milton Glaser // "If you perceive the universe as being a universe of abundance, then it will be. If you think of the universe as one of scarcity, then it will be...I always thought that there was enough of everything to go around...that there are enough ideas in the universe and enough nourishment."
Ron Padgett // "Take care of things close to home first. Straighten up your room before you save the world. Then save the world."
Nico // "I have never desired to grow up from my world as a child, which is when things are most clear and utopian."

Cormac McCarthy // "Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden."
Hayao Miyazaki // "To be born means being compelled to choose an era, a place, a life. To exist here, now, means to lose the possibility of being countless other potential selves...once being born, there is no turning back. And I think that's exactly why the fantasy worlds...so strongly represent our hopes and yearning. They illustrate a world of lost possibilities for us."
Pablo Picasso // "I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them."
Edith Sitwell // "I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish."
Audrey Hepburn // "My life isn't theories and formulae. It's part instinct, part common sense."
Ezra Pound // "The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language, and no single language is capable of expressing all forms and degrees of human comprehension."
Jean Giraud // "You must first cleanse yourself of deep feelings, like hate, happiness, ambition, etc... I have noticed with all the creative geniuses I have met that they all share a childlike delight with whatever or whomever they encounter in life...they can even find amusement in life’s villains."
