Madonna // "We are all responsible for our actions, our behavior, and our words, and we must take responsibility for everything we say and do. When you get your head wrapped around that, you can no longer think of life as a series of random events—you participate in life in a way you didn't previously. I am an architect of my destiny. I am in charge. I bring that to me, or I push it away. You can no longer blame other people for things that happened to you."

Virginia Woolf // "I belong to quick, futile moments of intense feeling. Yes, I belong to moments. Not to people."

Vincent Cassel // "It's now or never. This is simple to say, but then to live like that is not easy at all... You have to be aware enough so that you can see situations as they pass in front of you and be able to catch the instant, whatever it is. Many times, you just don't see the moment when you were yawning and then it's too late."

Andy Warhol // "I think about all the people before eyeglasses were invented. It must have been weird because everyone was seeing in different ways according to how bad their eyes were. Now, eyeglasses standardize everyone's vision to 20-20. That's an example of everyone becoming more alike. Everyone could be seeing at different levels if it weren't for glasses."

Walt Disney // "Well of course, happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy or you can be unhappy. It's just according to the way you look at things...all individuals are different. Some of us just wouldn't be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job...Yet I envied those people. I had a brother who I really envied because he was a mailman...he's the one that had all the fun. He had himself a trailer, and he used to go out and go fishing, and he didn't worry about payrolls and stories and picture grosses or anything. And he was the happy one. I always said, 'He's the smart Disney.'"
