Richard Feynman // "I have a friend who’s an artist...He’ll hold up a flower and say..."I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he’s kind of nutty...I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more...I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty... The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color...the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds."
Nikola Tesla // "My brain is only a receiver...in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists."
Mos Def // "Good art provides people with a vocabulary about things they can't articulate."
Anna Wintour // "People respond well to those that are sure of what they want."
Oscar Wilde // "I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."
Paolo Roversi // "My photography is more subtraction than addition. I always try to take off things. We all have a sort of mask of expression. You say goodbye, you smile, you are scared. I try to take all these masks away and little by little subtract until you have something pure left. A kind of abandon, a kind of absence. It looks like an absence, but in fact when there is this emptiness I think the interior beauty comes out. This is my technique. Or at least it’s what I think my technique is!"
William Eggelston // "I am at war with the obvious."
Anne Frank // "We have many reasons to hope for great happiness, but...we have to earn it. And that's something you can't achieve by taking the easy way out. Earning happiness means doing good and working...not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction."
Gloria Steinem // "We are becoming the men we wanted to marry."
Ernest Hemingway // "Never confuse movement with action."
Liam Gallagher // "No one gives you a fucking chance in this world. Always got some knob putting you down until the day you fucking die. You gotta get in your own world and sort it out and maybe one day they’ll sit up and listen. You gotta go out and prove yourself."
Mick Jagger // "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need."
