Wolfgang Tillmans // "Only the brave show what they love."
Tim Burton // "Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?"
John Steinbeck // "That's why I'm talking to you. You are one of the rare people who can separate your observation from your preconception. You see what it is, where most people see what they expect."
Gabriel Garcia Marquez // "It is not true that people stop pursuing their dreams because they grow old...they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams."
James Baldwin // "It's not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself. You become a collaborator, an accomplice of your own murderers, because you believe the same things they do... You have somehow to begin to break out of all that and try to become yourself. It's hard for anybody... Hard, because you've got to divorce yourself from the standards of that society."
Joni Mitchell // "The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel."
David Lynch // "Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole."
Leo Tolstoy // "Until you do what you believe in, you don't know whether you believe it or not."
Richard Avedon // "How many pictures have you torn up because you hate them? What ends up in your scrapbook? The pictures where you look like a good guy and a good family man, and the children look adorable...and they're screaming the next minute. I've never seen a family album of screaming people."
Al Pacino // "There's no such thing as too far. You understand? You push everything as far as you can. You push and you push and you push until it starts pushing back. And then you push some goddamn more."
Vincent Van Gogh // "I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say, 'He feels deeply, he feels tenderly.'"
Tilda Swinton // "Loneliness is the deal. Loneliness is the last great taboo. If we don't accept loneliness, then capitalism wins...because capitalism is all about trying to convince people that you can distract yourself, that you can make it better. And it ain't true."
