Audrey Hepburn // “Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book and remembering...because you can’t take it all in at once.”
Charles Darwin // "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
George Carlin // "I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic."
Friedrich Nietzsche // "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
Heath Ledger // "When anything is blocking my head or there's worry in my life, I just go sit in Mars or something and look back here at Earth. All you can see is this tiny speck. You don't see the fear. You don't see the pain. You don't see thought. It's just one solid speck. Then nothing really matters. It just doesn't."
Clarice Lispector // "When I suddenly see myself in...the mirror, I take fright. I can scarcely believe that I have limits, that I am outlined and defined. I feel myself to be dispersed in the atmosphere, thinking inside other creatures, living inside things beyond myself. When I suddenly see myself in the mirror, I am not startled because I find myself ugly or beautiful. I discover, in fact, that I possess another quality. When I haven't looked at myself for some time, I almost forget that I am human...there is so much in me beyond what is known, so much that remains ever silent."
Fernando Pessoa // "The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur."
Jim Harrison // "Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy...or they become legend."
Tove Jansson // "I want to show you cities and landscapes and teach you how to look at things in new ways and how to get along in places you don't already know inside out. I want to put some life in you..."
Bruce Springsteen // "More than rich, more than famous, more than happy...I wanted to be great."
Frank Sinatra // "The best revenge is massive success."
Simone de Beauvoir // "I was made for another planet altogether. I mistook the way."
