Audrey Hepburn // "I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."
Jean Cocteau // "There is no such thing as love; only proof of love."
Arundhati Roy // "Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness...and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling...their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
Chuck Palahniuk // "The unreal is more powerful than the real...it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create."
George Orwell // "In a time of universal deceit...telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
Audrey Hepburn // "People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone."
Fyodor Dostoevsky // "Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love."
Pablo Picasso // "It took me a lifetime."
Emma Watson // "In my moments of doubt, I've told myself firmly — If not me, then who? If not now, when?"
Jimi Hendrix // "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
Edith Piaf // "All I've done all my life is disobey."
Charles Bukowski // "The nights you fight best are when all the weapons are pointed at you, when all the voices hurl their insults, while the dream is being strangled. The nights you fight best are when reason gets kicked in the gut, when the chariots of gloom encircle you... The nights you fight best are on a night like this, as you chase a thousand dark rats from your brain, as you rise up against the impossible, as you become a brother to the tender sister of joy and move on, regardless."
