Henri Matisse // "An artist must never be a prisoner... An artist must never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc."
Ruth Badar Ginsburg // "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made... It shouldn't be that women are the exception."
Daphne Guinness // "We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty."
Martin Luther King Jr. // "Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
Nikola Tesla // "I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart... like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."
Maya Angelou // "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
Bridget Riley // "I work on two levels. I occupy my conscious mind with things to do, lines to draw...that allows other things to happen which I'm not controlling...the more I exercise my conscious mind, the more...other things may find that they can come through."
Dan Winters // "I usually like to strip things down to basics...simplicity and removing variables leaves you with only your sensibility and your voice...great work is deceptively simple."
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."
