Pablo Neruda // "You start dying slowly if you do not travel, if you do not read, if you do not listen to the sounds of life... You start dying slowly if you become a slave of your habits, walking everyday on the same paths… You start dying slowly if you avoid to feel passion and their turbulent emotions; those which make your eyes glisten and your heart beat fast. You start dying slowly...if you do not allow yourself, at least once in your lifetime, to run away from sensible advice…"

Frank Sinatra // "Like you, I think, I feel, I wonder. I know some things, I believe a thousand things, and I'm curious about a million more."

Rowan Atkinson // "All cultures identify with children in a similar way. 10-year-old boys from different cultures have more in common than 30-year-olds. As we grow up, we acquire this sensibility that divides us."

Bob Dylan // "And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns...that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn't have allowed before, that I had been closing my creativity down to a very narrow, controllable scale...that things had become too familiar and I might have to disorient myself."

Lady Gaga // "I used to walk down the street like I was a fucking star. I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be...and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth."

Katharine Hepburn // "The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated."

Charlie Chaplin // "You need power only when you want to do something harmful. Otherwise, love is enough to get everything done."
