Edie Sedgwick // "It's not that I'm rebelling, it's that I'm just trying to find another way."
Julie Andrews // "Miracles, contrary to popular belief, do not just happen. A miracle is the achievement of the impossible, and it is only when we put aside our greed, anger, pride and prejudice so that our minds are open and ready to accept it, that a miracle can occur."
Mary Quant // "One of the things I've learned is never to horde ideas, because either they are not so relevant or they've gone stale. Whatever it is, pour it out."
Ricky Gervais // "Everyone has the right to believe in anything they want. And everyone else has the right to find it fucking ridiculous."
Sophia Loren // "It's necessary to have an energy that carries you forward. You need the will to live, to have great curiosity."
Steven Spielberg // "When I don't have a story to tell, I'm a terror to live with."
Sharon Tate // "I'm very unpredictable. Very, very impulsive. Extremely. Sometimes I don't know what I want to do from one day to the next. I can't enjoy anything premeditated; I just do it as I feel it. But whatever I do is motivated by honesty."
Rainer Werner Fassbinder // "Cheerfulness that’s characterized as cheerfulness by the usual signs usually isn’t the real thing. I’m cheerful in a certain way, and it’s for myself... when a person who’s eating feels it’s necessary to keep saying “Oh, what a marvelous piece of meat!” or “This sauce is incredibly delicious!” I have a strange feeling that for some reason he has to talk himself into believing it. Or if you’re out for a walk and the other person keeps saying how lovely it is to go walking with you... Someone who always feels the necessity to say what he may or may not be feeling–he must have to talk himself into it... In principle I’m not against expressing something now and then, on the contrary, language is a significant means of getting things across, after all. But I just think it shouldn’t be a constant thing."
Barack Obama // "Change will not come if we wait for some person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
Jane Goodall // "We are in a position to understand our relation to the rest of the planet. We can ask questions like, why am I here? And do I matter? And I think that's what makes us different...that we can question the reason for existence."
Ingmar Bergman // "I don't want to produce a work of art that the public can sit and suck aesthetically... I want to give them a blow in the small of the back, to scorch their indifference, to startle them out of their complacency."
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis // "Minimum information given with maximum politeness."
