Romy Schneider // "I want to learn, I want to develop, I want to discover all that is in me."
Philippe Petit // "There is a child inside me that wants to come out and do something to surprise all the adults."
Oscar Wilde // "I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best."
Heath Ledger // "No amount of money changes what I do between 'action' and 'cut'... It's not that I don’t want the money, it's just that...I never had money, and I was very happy without it. When I die, my money's not gonna come with me. My movies will live on for people to judge what I was as a person. I just want to stay curious."
Salvador Dali // "What wonderful things is this Salvador Dali going to accomplish today?"
Muhammad Ali // "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion... Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
Patti Smith // "Pinocchio went out into the world. He went on his road filled with good intentions, with a vision. He went ready to do all the things he dreamed, but he was pulled this way and that. He was distracted. He faltered. He made mistakes. But he kept on. Pinocchio, in the end, became himself — because the little flame inside him, no matter what crap he went through, would not be extinguished. We are all Pinocchio. And do you know what I found after several decades of life? We are Pinocchio over and over again — we achieve our goal, we become a level of ourselves, and then we want to go further. And we make new mistakes, and we have new hardships, but we prevail. We are human. We are alive."
Keith Richards // "A painter's got a canvas. The writer's got reams of empty paper. A musician has silence."
Ernest Hemingway // "There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them, the little that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave."
Audrey Hepburn // "People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone."
Martin Luther King Jr. // "The trouble isn't so much that our scientific genius lags behind, but our moral genius lags behind. The great problem facing modern man is that...the means by which we live have outdistanced the spiritual ends for which we live... The problem is with man himself and man's soul. We haven't learned how to be just and honest and kind and true and loving...that is the real basis of our problem."
John Steinbeck // "In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty, men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted shortcuts to love."
