Dalai Lama // "We don't need more money, we don't need greater success or fame, we don't need the perfect body or even the perfect mate. Right now, at this very moment, we have a mind...which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness."
Bertrand Russell // "For the first time in human history, it is now possible...to create a world where everybody shall have a reasonable chance of happiness. Physical evil can, if we choose, be reduced to very small proportions. It would be possible...to feed and house the whole population of the world, not luxuriously, but sufficiently to prevent great suffering. It would be possible to combat disease, and to make chronic ill-health very rare... Science will have to be the chief ingredient. Without physics and physiology and psychology, we cannot build the new world."
Yohji Yamamoto // "Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy copy. At the end of the copy you will find yourself."
Albert Einstein on Niels Bohr // "He is a very sensitive fellow and goes about this world as if hypnotized."
Anais Nin // "I don't really want to become normal, average, standard... I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits."
Stéphane 'Charb' Charbonnier // "If we worried about the consequences of each of our drawings...then we would have had to close shop a long time ago... I do this because it's our job to draw about actuality." #charliehebdo
Diana Ross // "....I do like glamour, I don't like mediocrity or sloppiness."
Gordon Parks // "I have for a long time, worked under the premise that everyone is worth something; that every life is valuable to our own existence. Consequently, I've felt it was my camera's responsibility to shed light on any condition that hinders growth or warps the spirit..."
Joe Strummer // "We are not particularly talented, we try harder...we give it all we got...that's all, it's as simple as that. You 'gotta give it all you got, or forget it."
Ralph Lauren // "I've always believed one could live many lives...even if just in our imagination. The world is open to us, and each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves."
Sylvia Plath // "I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live."
Napoleon Hill // "A genius is simply one who has taken full possession of his own mind and directed it toward objectives of his own choosing, without permitting outside influences to discourage or mislead him."
