Amy Poehler // "To some people, not caring is supposed to be cool, commenting is more interesting than doing, and everything is judged and then disposed of in, like, five minutes. I'm not interested in those kinds of people. I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails or looks stupid."
Alan Moore // "I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you."
James Dean // "I want to grow away from the pathetic little world we exist in. I want to leave it all behind, all the petty thoughts about unimportant little things, things that’ll be forgotten a hundred years from now anyway. There’s a level somewhere where everything is solid and important. I’m going to try to reach up there and find a place I know is pretty close to perfect, a place where this whole messy world should be, could be, if it’d just take the time to learn."
Diane von Furstenberg // "You're always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company."
John Keats // "Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know."
Marco Pierre White // "I was being judged by people who had less knowledge than me, so what was it truly worth?"
Albert Camus // "For years I’ve wanted to live according to everyone else’s morals. I’ve forced myself to live like everyone else, to look like everyone else. I said what was necessary to join together, even when I felt separate. And after all of this, catastrophe came. Now I wander amid the debris, I am lawless, torn to pieces, alone and accepting to be so, resigned to my singularity and to my infirmities. And I must rebuild a truth...after having lived all my life in a sort of lie."
Bob Dylan // "The world don't need any more songs... As a matter of fact, if nobody wrote any songs from this day on, the world ain't gonna suffer for it... There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probably, each of them, a hundred songs, and never be repeated... Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story."
J.K. Rowling // "I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had."
Albert Einstein // "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
Romy Schneider // "You must not quote to me what I once said. I am wiser now."
Carson McCullers // "We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange...we are homesick most for the places we have never known."
