Charles Bukowski // "Nobody can save you but yourself. You will be put again and again into nearly impossible situations. They will attempt again and again...to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly inside...and it will be easy enough to fail...but don't, don't, don't. Just watch them. Listen to them. Do you want to be like that? A faceless, mindless, heartless being? Do you want to experience death before death? Nobody can save you but yourself and you're worth saving. It's a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it. Think about it. Think about saving yourself."
Sade Adu // "The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time."
Muhammad Ali // "I’m gonna show you how great I am."
Ernest Hemingway // "Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything."
James Baldwin // "The paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious, one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated."

David Bowie // "And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds; are immune to your consultations, they are quite aware of what they are going through."

Sam Haskins // "A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door, the host said 'I love your pictures...they're wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.' He said nothing until dinner was finished, then: 'That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove."
Ian McKellen // "Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There’s more to life than you know and it’s all happening out there. Discover what part you can play...then go for it."
Lauren Bacall // "Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world."
John Lennon // "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality."
Barack Obama // "What sustains our relationship...has to do with the fact that she is at once completely familiar to me, so that I can be myself and she knows me very well and I trust her completely, but at the same time she is also a complete mystery to me in some ways. And there are times when we are lying in bed and I look over and sort of have a start. Because I realize here is this other person who is separate and different and has different memories and backgrounds and thoughts and feelings. It’s that tension between familiarity and mystery that makes for something strong, because, even as you build a life of trust and comfort and mutual support, you retain some sense of surprise or wonder about the other person."
Samuel Beckett // "The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day."
