Nick Cave // "To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all because the worth of the idea never becomes apparent until you do it. Sometimes this idea can be the smallest thing in the world, a little flame that you hunch over and cup with your hand and pray will not be extinguished by all the storm that howls about it. If you can hold on to that flame great things can be constructed around it that are massive and powerful and world changing – all held up by the tiniest of ideas."
Paramahansa Yogananda // "If someone is broadcasting hatred, if you are tuned to that hatred, you will get it; but if you are tuned to love, no matter how many hateful vibrations are sent, you will not get them. You must cultivate love in your heart, for it is the magnetism that draws souls to you and it is the dagger that kills hatred." 🇧🇪
Marianne Faithfull // "The thing about the really interesting women is that they don't actually care that much."
Tilda Swinton // "It's a real comfort zone for me to feel alien."
Hunter S. Thompson // "Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception – especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.
Rei Kawakubo // "I want to see things differently...I want to find something that nobody has ever found."
Diana Vreeland // "What sells is hope."
Robert Bresson // "Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never been seen."
Tom Waits // "We are buried underneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness."
David Bowie // "I've always found that I collect. I am a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities, ideas."
Will Smith // "Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity."
Jon Stewart // "You take a chance, and you can work to get away from your circumstance. And by working to get away from your circumstance you can make something better of yourself, but there’s no guarantee...But you know what? The joy of it is chasing that dream."
