Gore Vidal // "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."
Robert Mapplethorpe // "If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up."
Zadie Smith // "When a human being becomes a set of data on a website like a Facebook, he or she is reduced. Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility."
Woody Allen // "All I have in life is my imagination."
Nikola Tesla // "Though free to think and act, we are held together...These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them. I cut myself in the finger, and it pains me: this finger is a part of me. I see a friend hurt, and it hurts me, too: my friend and I are one... I see stricken down an enemy, a lump of matter which, of all the lumps of matter in the universe, I care least for, and it still grieves me. Does this not prove that each of us is only part of a whole?"
Miranda July // "All I ever really want to know is how other people are making it through life—where do they put their body, hour by hour, and how do they cope inside of it."
Charles Lindbergh // "Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?"
Walt Disney // "What ever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it, they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do."
Marcel Proust // "Happiness is good for the body, but it is grief which develops the strengths of the mind."
Marilyn Monroe // "Beneath the makeup and behind the smile, I am just a girl who wishes for the world."
Gloria Steinem // "We've begun to raise daughters more like sons...but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters."
Stephen Hawking // "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the universe. That makes us something very special."
