Albert Einstein // "Although I am typically a loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those whose strive for truth, beauty and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated."
Jim Henson // "The most sophisticated people I know...inside they are all children."
Anne Frank // "What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again."
Stephen Fry // "We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing...an actor, a writer...I am a person who does things...I write, I act...and I never know what I'm going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun."
Elon Musk // "I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad."
Zadie Smith // "If novelists know anything it’s that individual citizens are internally plural: they have within them the full range of behavioral possibilities. They are like complex musical scores from which certain melodies can be teased out and others ignored or suppressed, depending, at least in part, on who is doing the conducting. At this moment, all over the world—and most recently in America—the conductors standing in front of this human orchestra have only the meanest and most banal melodies in mind... But there is no place on earth where they have not been played at one time or another. Those of us who remember...a finer music must try now to play it, and encourage others, if we can, to sing along."
Alan Moore // "What does fighting crime mean, exactly? Does it mean upholding the law when a woman shoplifts to feed her children, or does it mean struggling to uncover the ones who, quite legally, have brought about her poverty?"
Bruce Lee // "When one has reached maturity...one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving into water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style."
Dalai Lama // "World peace must develop from inner peace."
Audrey Tautou // "I am untamed. I don’t like to be squeezed into the system and I don’t like superficial conversation. I am very bad with that. I don’t have the talent to talk for nothing."
Philippe Petit // "I am not up there by chance. I am there by choice. I know the wire and I know my limits. I am a madman of details."
Anthony Bourdain // "Travel is not reward for working, it’s education for living."
