Jorge Luis Borges // "For me, beauty is a physical sensation, something we feel with our whole body. It is not the result of judgement. We do not arrive at it by way of rules. We either feel beauty or we don't."

Hermann Hesse // "Sensitive persons find our inartistic manner of existence oppressive and painful, and they withdraw from sight... I believe what we lack is joy...the conception of life as a happy thing, as a festival... But the high value put upon every minute of time, the idea of hurry-hurry as the most important objective of living, is unquestionably the most dangerous enemy of joy."

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."
