Bob Dylan // “Destiny is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you’re about will come true.”
Sebastião Salgado // "It’s more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera."
Zadie Smith // "Not everyone wants this conventional little life you're rowing your boat toward. I like my river of fire...I'm not afraid."
Michel Foucault // "What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?"
Albert Camus // “But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.”
Henry Miller // "I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul."
Chris Rock // "I used to have horrible cars, because I never had money, so I'd always end up broken down on the highway. When I stood there trying to flag someone down, nobody stopped. But when I pushed my own car, other drivers would get out and push with me. If you want help, help yourself—people like to see that."
Jane Goodall // “I’d like to be remembered as someone who really helped people to have a little humility and realize that we are part of the animal kingdom, not separated from it.”
Tilda Swinton // "I don't really look like people in films; I look like people in paintings."
Albert Einstein // "When we survey our lives...we soon observe that almost the whole of our actions and desires are bound up with the existence of other human beings... We eat food that others have grown, wear clothes that others have made, live in houses that others have built. The greater part of our knowledge and beliefs has been communicated to us by other people through...language which others have created. Without language our mental capacities would be poor indeed... The individual, if left alone from birth would remain primitive and beast-like in his thoughts and feelings to a degree that we can hardly conceive. The individual is what he is and has the significance that he has, not so much in virtue of his individuality, but rather as a member of a great human society..."
Kim Novak // "You can talk about life...or you can live it."
Cillian Murphy // "I suppose I've always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general...to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves."
