John Updike // "Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better."
Diana Vreeland // "A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I’m against."
Kurt Cobain // "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are."
Amelia Earhart // "Everyone has oceans to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?"
Oprah Winfrey // "When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes."
André Gide // "Do not do what someone else could do as well as you... Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create...the most irreplaceable of beings."
Hedy Lamarr // "I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with."
Debbie Harry // "I'm a culture vulture, and I just want to experience it all."
Francis Bacon // "Beauty moves me. Nothing else."
Ray Bradbury // "Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't 'try' to do things. You simply 'must' do things."
J.K. Rowling // "We do not need magic to change the world...we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."
Alber Elbaz // "I hate the word cool. It gives me a rash... It's a cool party, a cool person... What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility."
