Ayrton Senna // "I'm very privileged. I've always had a very good life. But everything that I've gotten out of life was obtained through dedication and a tremendous desire to achieve my goals...a great desire for victory...meaning victory in life, not as a driver. To all of you who have experienced this or are searching now, let me say that whoever you may be in your life, whether you're at the highest or most modest level, you must show great strength and determination and do everything with love... One day, you'll achieve your aim..."
Wolfgang Mozart // "All I insist...is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid. Be silent, if you choose; but when it is necessary, speak...and speak in such a way that people will remember it."
Andrei Tarkovsky // "What nobody seems to understand is that love can only be one-sided...no other love exists...in any other form it is not love. If it involves less than total giving, it is not love."
Vincent van Gogh // "If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is grass in the beginning."
Thelonious Monk // "The only cats that are worth anything are the cats that take chances."
Xavier Dolan // "I doubt everything: my ideas, my choices, my behavior, my decisions. I just don't question my ability to achieve things..."
Salvador Dali // "I was never capable of being an average pupil. I would either...give the impression of being completely dumb or I would fling myself on my work with a frenzy, a patience, and a willingness to learn that astonished everybody. But to awaken my zeal, it was necessary to offer me something I liked."
Christian Bale // "I am afraid...but I will not run and I will not look back. I will just go deeper. Until I come through."
Eugene O'Neill // "The best I can do is to try to encourage you to work hard at something you really want to do and have the ability to do. Because any fool knows that to work hard at something you want to accomplish is the only way to be happy... What I am trying to get firmly planted in your mind is this: In the really important decisions of life, others cannot help you. No matter how much they would like to. You must rely on yourself. That is the fate of each one of us. It can’t be changed. It just is like that."
Richard Pryor // "If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think."
Colette // "You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm."
Roald Dahl // "I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life...if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be."
