Brian Eno // "People...often want to aim for the biggest, most obvious target, and hit it smack in the bull's eye. Of course with everyone else aiming there as well that makes it very hard and expensive to hit. I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside."
Frank Ocean // "We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way."
J.D. Salinger // "Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
Anna de Noailles // "Nothing is real but dreams and love."
Thich Nhat Hanh // "Because you are alive, everything is possible."
Joan Didion // "You have to pick the places you don't walk away from."
H.G. Wells // "Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are."
Charlie Parker // "They teach you there's a boundary... But, man, there's no boundary..."
Marilyn Monroe // "Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
Charles Bukowski // "My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover."
Oscar Wilde // "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
Barack Obama // "Don't boo, vote."
