Walt Whitman // "Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul."
Diana Vreeland // "There's only one very good life and that's the life you know you want and you make it yourself."
Haruki Murakami // "We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases."
Allen Ginsberg // "To gain your own voice, forget about having it heard."
Anais Nin // "Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you."
Albert Camus // "The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind."
Jeff Bridges // "My wife, whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious, she'll say, 'Remember, have fun.' Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are."
Jiddu Krishnamurti // "When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind."
Marilyn Monroe // "It's all make believe, isn't it?"
Michael Jackson // "Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth."
Katharine Hepburn // "If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased."
Bill Murray // "Just beat my record for most consecutive days without dying."
