Werner Herzog // "I'm trying to find these rare moments where you feel completely illuminated. Facts never illuminate you. The phone directory of Manhattan doesn't illuminate you, although it has factually correct entries, millions of them. But these rare moments of illumination that you find when you read a great poem, you instantly know. You instantly feel this spark of illumination. You are almost stepping outside of yourself and you see something sublime."
Roberta Flack // "So see every opportunity as golden, and keep your eyes on the prize — yours, not anybody else's."
Audrey Hepburn // I don't take my life seriously, but I do take what I do in my life seriously."
Emma Watson // "I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself. I want to avoid becoming too styled and too done and too generic. You see people as they go through their career and they just become more and more like everyone else."
Tom Stoppard // "Relax. Respond."
John F. Kennedy // "A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death."
Isadora Duncan // "For I was never able to understand...why if one wanted to do a thing, one should not do it. I have never waited to do as I wished."
Saul Bass // "You see an artist, a creative person, can accept criticism or can live with the criticism much more easily than with being ignored. Criticism makes you feel alive. If somebody is bothered enough to speak about it, you feel you have touched a nerve and you are at least 'in touch.' You are not happy that he doesn't like it, but you feel you are in contact with life."
Jim Jarmusch // "No input, no output."
Amelia Earhart // "Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others."
Grace Kelly // "My father had a very simple view of life: you never get anything for nothing."
Alan Alda // "The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart."
