Gabriel Garcia Marquez // "Very well, I will marry you if you promise not to make me eat eggplant."
Patti Smith // "Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don't make compromises, don't worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned about doing good work. Protect your work and if you build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency."
Audrey Tautou // "I'm not a rebellious person usually. But I fight against hypocrisy, and stupidity, and those invisible rules that can drive your life and put you through certain pressures. I don't especially like to always do everything that I've been told. I guess I can sometimes be...wild."
Benjamin Clementine // "You know, when I was coming to New York, through the clouds, I didn't see any stars. It was nighttime, I looked down, and I saw lights, so I imagined the stars were falling down from the sky. When we landed, I still didn't see the stars...the stars are right here. They've become human beings."
Guy de Maupassant // "Music...this art made out of mathematics and air, is simply the result of the strange properties of a little membrane... Would we be able to detect music without the ear? Of course not. Well, we are surrounded by things whose existence we never suspect, because we lack the organs that would reveal them to us."
Michael Caine // "The basic rule of human nature is that powerful people speak slowly and subservient people quickly...because if they don't speak fast nobody will listen to them."
Alexander McQueen // "It's a new era...there are no rules."
François Truffaut // "Three films a day, three books a week and records of great music would be enough to make me happy to the day I die."
Simone de Beauvoir // "The point is not for women simply to take power out of men’s hands, since that wouldn’t change anything about the world. It’s a question precisely of destroying that notion of power."
Stephen King // "The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them. Words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out."
Salvador Dali // "Every morning upon awakening, I experience a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dali, and I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today, this Salvador Dali."
Samuel Beckett // "We are all born mad. Some remain so."
