Johnny Cash // "All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate. I choose love."
Madonna // "No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself."
Henry Miller // "Everyday we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians. We have only to open up, to discover what is already there."
Kurt Vonnegut // "Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded...you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of... God damn it, you've got to be kind."
Ansel Adams // "Ask yourself: Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning? Remember: Every coincidence is potentially meaningful. How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world."
Daphne du Maurier // "But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands."
Jimmy Page // "Let's just say I'm like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it's time to continue the journey."
Nina Simone // "What kept me sane was knowing that things would change, and it was a question of keeping myself together until they did."
Ai Weiwei // "Your own acts tell the world who you are and what kind of society you think it should be. One small act is worth a million thoughts."
Pablo Neruda // "You start dying slowly if you do not travel, if you do not read, if you do not listen to the sounds of life... You start dying slowly if you become a slave of your habits, walking everyday on the same paths… You start dying slowly if you avoid to feel passion and their turbulent emotions; those which make your eyes glisten and your heart beat fast. You start dying slowly...if you do not allow yourself, at least once in your lifetime, to run away from sensible advice…"
Joan Didion // "Do not whine...Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone."
Frank Sinatra // "Like you, I think, I feel, I wonder. I know some things, I believe a thousand things, and I'm curious about a million more."
