Kanye West // "I always felt like I could do anything. That's the main thing people are controlled by...thoughts...their perception of themselves. They're slowed down by their perception of themselves. If you're taught you can't do anything, you won't do anything. I was taught I could do everything."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry // “Grown-ups love figures... When you tell them you've made a new friend they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you: "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead they demand: "How old is he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”
Kirk Douglas // "I have discovered when I speak slowly...people listen. They think I'm going to say something important."
