John Lennon // "People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine...I always wondered, "Why has no one discovered me?" In school, didn't they see...that all they had was information that I didn't need? I used to say to my auntie, "You throw my fuckin' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous," and she threw the bastard stuff out...Why didn't they put me in art school? Why didn't they train me...I was different. I was always different. Why didn't anybody notice me? A couple of teachers would notice me, encourage me to be something...express myself. But most of the time they were trying to beat me into becoming a fuckin' dentist or a teacher."
Johnny Depp // "I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time."
Allen Ginsberg // "To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard."
Neil Gaiman // "Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside... Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have... Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world."
Lady Gaga // "Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses."
