Carl Jung // "I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life. They seek position, marriage, reputation, outward success of money, and remain unhappy…even when they have attained what they were seeking. Such people are usually confined within too narrow a spiritual horizon. Their life has not sufficient content, sufficient meaning. If they are enabled to develop into more spacious personalities, the neurosis generally disappears."
Vincent van Gogh // "I want something more concise, more simple, more serious; I want more soul and more love and more heart."
Tom Waits // "The way you do anything is the way you do everything."
Virginia Woolf // "Style is a very simple matter: it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can’t use the wrong words. But on the other hand here am I sitting after half the morning, crammed with ideas, and visions, and so on, and can’t dislodge them, for lack of the right rhythm... What rhythm is...goes far deeper than words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it."
David Lynch // "Inside, we are ageless...and when we talk to ourselves, it’s the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It’s the body that is changing around that ageless center."
Pablo Picasso // "Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working."
Henry Miller // "What I want is to open up. I want to know what’s inside me. I want everybody to open up. I’m like an imbecile with a can opener in his hand, wondering where to begin...to open up the earth. I know that underneath the mess everything is marvelous. I’m sure of it."
Arundhati Roy // "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
Anais Nin // "We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."
Miles Davis // "When you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note that makes it good or bad."
Bill Murray // "The last time doesn’t exist. It’s only this time. And everything is going to be different this time. There’s only now."
Audrey Hepburn // "I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment."
