Tom Hanks // "Floss...and just learn how to relax."
Hayao Miyazaki // "Whenever someone creates something with all of their heart, then that creation is given a soul."

Salvador Dali // "There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction."
Ethan Hawke // "I personally don't think grand gestures are actually romantic. The most romantic moments of my life have been so subtle and small. A snowstorm breakfast, a walk, an accidental meeting. Whenever you start planning these grand things, 'I'm gonna pick the great flower from the top of Mt. Everest,' you're already losing. You're trying too hard."
Christopher Walken // "I had an agent...who said to me, "You're gonna be in Los Angeles now once in a while. If somebody invites you to a party, don't go. Stay in your room, go to the movies." And I have a feeling I know sort of what he meant: Don't show your face around too much. Let 'em be a little glad to see you."
Dizzy Gillespie // "It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play."
Jean-Paul Sartre // "There may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours."
Martin Luther King Jr. // "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."

Charles Darwin // "If I had to live my life again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week...the loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect.”
Jeff Buckley // "Grace is what matters, in anything...That’s a quality I admire quite greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly, keeps you from destroying things too foolishly. It keeps you alive and it keeps you open for more understanding."
