Keith Haring // "No matter how long you work, it’s always going to end sometime. And there’s always going to be things left undone. And it wouldn’t matter if you lived until you were seventy-five. There would still be new ideas. There would still be things that you wished you would have accomplished. You could work for several lifetimes… Part of the reason that I’m not having trouble facing the reality of death is that it’s not a limitation, in a way. It could have happened any time, and it is going to happen sometime. If you live your life according to that, death is irrelevant. Everything I’m doing right now is exactly what I want to do."
Walt Whitman // "A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls."
David Lynch // "I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it."
Buckminster Fuller // "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
Audrey Tautou // "I like to look for things no one else catches."
Ingmar Bergman // "I don't want to produce a work of art that the public can sit and suck aesthetically... I want to give them a blow in the small of the back, to scorch their indifference, to startle them out of their complacency."
Bernardo Bertolucci // "I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is."
Audrey Hepburn // "Elegance is the only beauty that never fades."
Charlie Chaplin // "How does one get ideas? By sheer perseverance to the point of madness."
Nick Cave // "The lovely thing about the unsayable is that it is unsaid. As soon as it is said, it is sayable and loses all its mystery and ambiguity. Art exists so that the unsayable can be said without having to actually say it. We cloud it in secrecy and obfuscation. The mind is free to roam and all things can be imagined, under the cover of darkness. How nice that is. The unsayable. How tired we are of having things explained to us. Having things said. How nice it is when people just shut the fuck up."
Adrien Brody // "I suppose that means I'm not easy to define. But that's good, isn't it?"
Charles Bukowski // "Of course, anything can kill you and something eventually will. All I can say is that today I have just inserted a new typewriter ribbon into this old machine and I am pleased with the way it works. That makes for more than just an ordinary day, thank you."
