John Lewis // "First time I got arrested, I knew somehow and some way, we would succeed. To go on the Freedom Ride to be beaten and left bloody and unconscious, to be beaten on that bridge in Selma, have a concussion - I thought that I was going to die on that bridge. But somehow and some way, I lived to tell about what happened, and I've seen some of the fruits of the labor of so many people, and people must understand that."
Pablo Picasso // "Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar."
Gaetano Pesce // "We are the product of a 5000 year history. We thought that the best way to think is the masculine way. Using the masculine side of our brain, our best values were coherence, strength, homogeneity, dogmatism, seriousness, rigidity. It's been a long time that I've thought we have to use the other side of the brain... The female side of the brain is multidisciplinary, full of feeling, it is the bridge, joy, elasticity, softness...which is much more friendly to the human being."
Barack Obama // "I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change – but in yours."
Meryl Streep // "Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life."
Winona Ryder // "I just felt like...well, you know, it's good to be different. So I never really modeled myself on anyone. I was inspired by lots of people...but I never wanted to be somebody else."
Neil Young // "You know, the future's a huge, gigantic place. I have no idea what's going on out there, I'm just going to walk into it and see what happens."
Bob Marley (last words to son) // "Money can’t buy life."
Marcus Aurelius // "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
David Byrne // "People will remember you better if you always wear the same outfit..."
Andrei Tarkovsky // "We must live our own experience, we cannot inherit it."
John Steinbeck // "Speaking of the happy new year, I wonder if any year ever had less chance of being happy. It’s as though the whole race were indulging in a kind of species introversion — as though we looked inward on our neuroses. And the thing we see isn’t very pretty… So we go into this happy new year, knowing that our species has learned nothing, can, as a race, learn nothing — that the experience of ten thousand years has made no impression on the instincts of the million years that preceded... Not that I have lost any hope. All the goodness and the heroisms will rise up again, then be cut down again and rise up. It isn’t that the evil thing wins — it never will — but that it doesn’t die. I don’t know why we should expect it to. It seems fairly obvious...that two forces are necessary in man before he is man."
