Tom Petty // "All the best rebels...had some sense of hope in them."
Michael Jordan // "To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish...Stay in touch. Don't isolate."
Charles Bukowski // "Those faces you see every day on the streets were not created entirely without hope: be kind to them."
William S. Burroughs // "I am getting so far out one day I won't come back at all."
Mick Jagger // "This isn't the first generation that's questioned the moral values of the last generation. But I think it's one of the first generations which has not had to worry about the material things because if you're hungry, you haven't really got much time to worry about morals. When I say morals, I mean like fighting wars and whether this is right...or right for this society to do that. If your stomach is full of food, you can start worrying about that. People can worry more and they'll have less and less work to do... As the years go on they'll have hardly any work to do because there will be machines to do it for them, which has already happened. And so they'll have to work like four hours a day and the rest of the time they have got to do something else. And that something else isn't going to be what people think. It isn't going to be just jumping around and swimming and just reading books and going to movies because...you get very bored with those things very quickly...I hope it's going to be something good."
Jerry Seinfeld // "Keep your head up in failure, and your head down in success."
Vivian Maier // "Well I suppose nothing is meant to last forever. We have to make room for other people. It's a wheel...you get on, you have to go to the end, and then somebody else takes their place. Now I'm going to close and quickly run next door to do my work."
Charlie Chaplin // "Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."
Alberto Giacometti // "The more you fail, the more you succeed. It is only when everything is lost, and instead of giving up, you go on, that you experience the momentary prospect of some slight progress. Suddenly you have the feeling...that something new has opened up."
Audrey Tautou // "I understand that nobody understands me, but I can't be someone I'm not."
David Bowie // "Sometimes I don't feel as if I'm a person at all. I'm just a collection of other people's personalities and ideas."
Georgia O'Keeffe // "To create one's own world...takes courage."
