John Malkovich // "This is what politics is to me: Somebody tells you all the trees on your street have a disease. One side says give them food and water and everything will be fine. One side says chop them down and burn them so they don't infect another street. That's politics. And I'm going, Who says they're diseased? And how does this sickness manifest itself? And is this outside of a natural cycle? And who said this again? And when were they on the street? But we just have people who shout, "Chop it down and burn it" or "Give it food and water," and there's your two choices. Sorry, I'm not a believer."
Theodor Geisel // "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells."
Bob Marley // "Possessions make you rich? I don't have that type of richness. My richness is life, forever."
Chuck Palahniuk // "The first step - especially for...people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art."
Dizzy Gillespie // "It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play."
Søren Kierkegaard // "The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss...an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc...is sure to be noticed."
Sarah Silverman // "Mother Teresa didn't walk around complaining about her thighs—she had shit to do."
Salvador Dali // "I enjoy tremendously every single moment of my life because death, all the time, is very close watching me and death might catch me. And every five minutes death don't catch me, I enjoy tremendously."
River Phoenix // "It's not about a career. It's about believing in something, it's about prosperity. And it's about caring and empathizing and wanting to create the best, the most true to life, the most real."
Benjamin Franklin // "All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing and improving. They do that by asking 'why.' After all, the person who knows 'how' will always have a job, but the person who knows 'why' will always be the boss."
Morgan Freeman // "You get what you want. I'm making the distinction between "want" and "would like to have." What you want is what you're going to put on the refrigerator door. You're going to focus on that and get it. It's going to happen. It's unstoppable."
Debbie Harry // "People always surprise you. There's usually something in everyone that you can find to make them likable if you have the patience to wait."
