Alan Rickman // "Always."
Marilyn Monroe // "I used to think...there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest."
John Cleese // "I noticed years ago that when people (myself definitely included) are anxious, they tend to busy themselves with irrelevant activities, because these distract from and therefore reduce their actual experience of anxiety. To stay perfectly still is to feel the fear at its maximum intensity, so instead you scuttle around doing things as though you are, in some mysterious way, short of time."
Bob Dylan // "I always knew that there was something out there that I needed to get to. And it wasn't where I was at that particular moment... I was heading for the fantastic lights. Destiny was looking right at me..."
Dolly Parton // "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
Anjelica Huston // "I watched my father at the end of his life; physically, his possibilities became narrower and narrower. As they grew narrower, his mind expanded and he became more gentle, more loving, more giving, more vulnerable, more creative...I would hardly call that a regression. It was a fantastic, inspirational thing to witness."
George Lucas // "Always remember, your focus determines your reality."
Joan Didion // "Memory fades, memory adjusts, memory conforms to what we think we remember."
Louis CK // "Everything is amazing right now and nobody’s happy. Like, in my lifetime the changes in the world have been incredible… Flying is the worst because people come back from flights and they tell you...a horror story...They’re like: “It was the worst day of my life. First of all, we didn’t board for twenty minutes, and then we get on the plane and they made us sit there on the runway...” Oh really, what happened next? Did you fly through the air incredibly, like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight you non-contributing zero?! You’re flying! It’s amazing! Everybody on every plane should just constantly be going: “Oh my God! Wow!” You’re flying! You’re sitting in a chair, in the sky!"
Jodie Foster // "Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from."
Aldous Huxley // "There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that is your own self. So begin there, not outside, not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you have worked on your own corner."
Hunter S. Thompson // "I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours."
