Agnes Varda // "I’m interested in people who are not exactly the middle way, or who are trying something else because they cannot prevent themselves from being different, or they wish to be different, or they are different because society pushed them away...I think people should be different."
Noël Coward // "My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with...I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself."
Samuel Beckett // "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
Will Smith // "Don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can't do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period."
Margaret Mead // "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Michael Jordan // "To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate."
Miuccia Prada // "These girls throw away so much energy in this search for beauty and sexiness... Because women have the stress of being beautiful, of age and youth. Men don't have all that. And with women, that stress causes a lot of mistakes and bad choices—a lot of not being their true self."
Bernard Buffet // "We do not talk about it, we do not analyze it, we feel it."
Jenny Holzer // "It can be startling to see someone's breath, let alone the breathing of a crowd. You usually don't believe that people extend that far."
George Lucas // "Always remember, your focus determines your reality."
Iris Apfel // "Never be afraid to stop traffic."
Franz Kafka // "Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your soul... Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."
