Umberto Eco // "Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages...a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn't be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be...as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite..."
Babe Ruth // "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."
Juliette Binoche // "You have to open up, and be. The being is more interesting than anything you can try to do...you allow life to come through you."
Andy Warhol // John Lennon
Jane Goodall // "Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right."
Rudyard Kipling // "If you don't get what you want, it's a sign either that you did not seriously want it or that you tried to bargain over the price."
Rainer Werner Fassbinder // "I enjoy going for a drive. Not really looking for adventure...just driving around...I'm trying more and more to learn how to be alone".
Alice Walker // "I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way...some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to."
Haruki Murakami // "We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the vases."
Pablo Casals // "The only credit we can claim is for the use we make of the talent we are given... Don't be vain because you happen to have talent. You are not responsible for that; it was not of your doing. What you do with your talent is what matters. You must cherish this gift. Do not demean or waste what you have been given. Work...work constantly and nourish it."
Annie Leibovitz // "When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them."
Carl Sagan // "The cosmos is within us...We are a way for the universe to know itself."
