Ernest Hemingway // "Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual."
Elizabeth Taylor // "I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them."
Françoise Sagan // "Art must take reality by surprise."
Diana Ross // "You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself."
Henri Cartier-Bresson // "I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us, which can mold us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds—the one inside us and the one outside us."
Ezra Miller // "I don't know if it's responsible for kids my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don't think we're ready for them. The romanticism within our culture dictates that that's what you're supposed to be looking for. Then when we find what we think is love -- even if it is love -- we do not yet have the tools."
John Steinbeck // "This I believe: the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about."
Constantin Brancusi // "They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things."
Isabel Marant // "You don't need a lot to be happy in life...I'm really somebody who believes less is more. I think we have too many things. It's just killing everyone."
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe // "Build, don't talk."
Keith Haring // "The only way art lives is through the experience of the observer. The reality of art begins with the eyes of the beholder, through imagination, invention and confrontation."
Federico Fellini // "You have to live spherically – in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm and things will come your way."
