Kim Gordon // "People pay to see others believe in themselves."
Aldous Huxley // "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
Nelson Mandela // "It always seems impossible until it’s done."
Stefan Zweig // "For the first time in my life I began to realize that it is not evil and brutality, but nearly always weakness, that is to blame for the worst things that happen in this world."
George Orwell // "We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men."
Eva Green // "I like to do things that I adore. It can't be in between. I really need to connect... Because it's not a job. It's almost like a faith or religion. Every time, I give a bit of my soul."
Albert Camus // "You always get exaggerated notions about things you don't know anything about."
Fiona Apple // "People shouldn't have to appear always, you know, stable and content, because people aren't always stable and content. And it makes it harder...because we don't have the freedom to express all of these darker sides of our emotions. Because we're supposed to keep everything very, you know, friendly and polite and appropriate all the time. And I think that every emotion is appropriate whenever it arises."
Maya Angelou // "Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older. But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And maybe even more, to succeed. What it costs, in truth. Not superficial costs, anybody can have that, I mean in truth."
Jack Kerouac // "Don't use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry."
Charles Eames // "Take your pleasure seriously."
Buckminster Fuller // "We must do away with the...notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery...so we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."
