Wilt Chamberlain // "Everything is habit forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing."
Anjelica Huston // "My biggest ambition is never to be bored."
Truman Capote // "A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet."
Andy Warhol // Alfred Hitchcock
Andy Warhol // "Business art is the step that comes after art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. During the hippie era people put down the idea of business. They'd say "money is bad" and "working is bad." But making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."
Barbra Streisand // "I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good."
Marilyn Monroe // "Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will?"
Rem Koolhaas // "I think one of the important evolutions is that we no longer feel compulsively the need to argue, or to justify things on a kind of rational level. We are much more willing to admit that certain things are completely instinctive and others are really intellectual."
Stanley Kubrick // "The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death...our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."
Ray Bradbury // “If you want to write, if you want to create…you must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head…I wish you a wrestling match with your creative muse that will last you a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories…may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
Robert Goddard // "There can be no thought of finishing, for aiming at the stars, both literally and figuratively, is the work of generations. But no matter how much progress one makes, there is always the thrill of just beginning."
Sophia Loren // "I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself."
