Egon Schiele // "Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside."
Matthew McConaughey // "We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there's enough room for all of us to succeed."
Arundhati Roy // "The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never forget."
Elvis Presley // Sophia Loren
Ai Weiwei // "As a person, I was born to give out my opinions. By giving out my opinions, I realize who I am. As long as I can communicate, I'm not so lonely. If I cannot travel, or do art, or have company, if they take away all my belongings, it doesn't matter at all."
John Lennon // Ringo Starr // George Harrison // Paul McCartney
David Hockney // "Anything simple always interests me."
Zaha Hadid // "I will never give myself the luxury of thinking 'I've made it'...I always set the bar higher."
Paul Newman // "You only grow when you are alone."
Elizabeth Taylor // "You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and god damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way."
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky // "The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever."
A.A. Milne // "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
