Cormac McCarthy // "Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden."
Hayao Miyazaki // "To be born means being compelled to choose an era, a place, a life. To exist here, now, means to lose the possibility of being countless other potential selves...once being born, there is no turning back. And I think that's exactly why the fantasy worlds...so strongly represent our hopes and yearning. They illustrate a world of lost possibilities for us."
Pablo Picasso // "I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them."
Edith Sitwell // "I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish."
Audrey Hepburn // "My life isn't theories and formulae. It's part instinct, part common sense."
Ezra Pound // "The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language, and no single language is capable of expressing all forms and degrees of human comprehension."
Jean Giraud // "You must first cleanse yourself of deep feelings, like hate, happiness, ambition, etc... I have noticed with all the creative geniuses I have met that they all share a childlike delight with whatever or whomever they encounter in life...they can even find amusement in life’s villains."
Bruce Lee // "To spend time...is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time...is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to spend or waste, and it is our decision what to do with it... Don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of."
Martin Luther King Jr. // "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
Andy Warhol // "As soon as I became a loner in my own mind, that's when I got what you might call a "following." As soon as you stop wanting something, you get it."
Josephine Baker // "I'm not intimidated by anyone. Everyone is made with two arms, two legs, a stomach and a head. Just think about that."
David Bowie // It occurred to me after watching MTV for the past few months...I'm just floored by the fact that there's so few black artists featured... The only few black artists that one does see are on about 2:30 in the morning until around 6. Very few are featured predominantly during the day... There seems to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't used on MTV. Mark Goodman (MTV) // Of course...we have to do what we think, not only New York and Los Angeles would like to see but also...the Midwest that would be scared to death... We have to play the music we think an entire country is going to like. David Bowie // Well I'll tell you what maybe the Isley Brothers or Marvin Gaye means to a black 17 year old and surely he's part of America as well... Do you not find that it's a frightening predicament to be in?
